This picture graphically describes why I need to do something drastic.

Picture is from 2020 and only the Capri was faster than me .

Now, I am running around at the same pace and the many cars in this picture are now way faster than me due to their development.

Whist I used to beat the grey Escort, this year it was 2nd on the grid, some 9 seconds faster than me !!!     
All the best Clive

Makes sense Clive if you have the  budget
Look forward to hearing your plans
On analysts
Is it just your losing out in the straights ?

Yes, I am losing out through lack of grunt (torque) off the corners compared to what I am up against.

Don't get me wrong the mods have worked and its fast and would be OK on say the Brands Indy where its all corners, but I am now looking at a big jump to be competitive on all the tracks and "maybe" go after a title place next year funds permitting if all goes to plan . (I did say maybe)

Got to have goals or I may as well pack it in  ::)
