Clive's 3 Rotor 700BHP Monster Thunder Saloon Project

[clive]

Just off so haven't got time to read.

Going by Rikki's Aston, when he glued canards on the car it transformed his grip.
The reason for the test is that I know Brands so well I should hope I can feel any difference good or bad -------we shall see

Saturday Test was a success, didn't go crazy, just decided once I had the brakes and suspension dialled in to put in some consistent laps.
(Brakes are now very impressive with excellent pedal feel)

Probably as we fit the extra Canards to both front and rear, they didn't affect understeer or oversteer, but the car felt much more stable and direction change was better.

I got down to a 52.303 on an ever increasingly slippery track, as there were light showers on and off through the last session.

Really surprised that the Ideal lap time of : 52.303 on my last lap of the day matched the best time of : 52.303, never ever seen that before!.

Darn, that clashes with a Colchester United home match. I might have risked coming down to see qually and the first race, but the A12 is a absolute nightmare at the moment. It took me 2 hours to get from Brentwood to Colchester last week, which normally takes about 50 minutes 

Good luck though!

Will this be streamed on youtube?

Thats a shame, next year then.

This Video graphically describes what I am up against when I get to Snetterton and then Donnington.

Worth a watch as its one hell of a good race.

Not bad at all for a first outing!

As this Super Saloon Championship  was not my normal Championship and was there on invite, basically I treated yesterday as an extended test session.

Couldn't work out where my pace had gone after qualifying 4th and it was only after the event we found out the turbo had come loose and I had lost what little boost I had.

One nice thing was that I was awarded driver of the day by the BRSCC Clerk of the course for clean dicing with other cars and giving other cars just enough room without contact

That explains a few things. Fortunately an easy fix. Congrats on the trophy! 
Is that very fittingly a rotor symbol, or is it just a coincidence?
