Mondello 19/03/2012 Practice Day Afterthoughts

[skinnynphats200]

Pretty bad day yesterday for me. Kept having boost pipe issues.
We changed the setup on the car too for this, felt like a completely different car and will take a little getting used to. a lot more grip in the dry.

As for the wet track Kept washing out transitioning coming into Honda on entry and then just stopped trying in fear of hitting the car, front tyres with feck all thread left and being edgy after the crash last weekend end in tullow didn't help!

Group E got the wet track every time, I felt they excessively wet it yesterday more so than usual - didn't anybody else think this?
Also I felt group E had much shorter sessions than group D.

Paul Murphy, Nicky Hallahan, Jay an Gary (considering the underpowered ca) were all going well.

Cheers to Git and Eoin for sorting me out with hosing to get the car back running.

I thought it was just me thinkin the track was overly wet. Instead of it bein dampend there was a layer of surface water. Rediculous

I had a great day out yesterday really enjoyed it. I went way better in the morning with a full tank of E5 and octane booster which only lasted till lunch unfortunately, had to run to the shop at lunch for more petrol. The car didnt run as well in the afternoon with standard 95 and a mani to turbo gasket blow. My diff gave up just at 5o'clock with was a bit of a sickener but at least it was near the end.

I thought they wet the track abit too much and some parts dried way faster making it tricky. The up side though didn't burn much rubber! Group E seemed to get a good few red flags I was in group D and don't think we got any, maybe that's why it seemed we got more track time.

Some great driving done the red and black s13 and light blue s14 were unreal they were either behind or in front of me on track, anyone know who they were? I thought Si was going very well one the fc from the small bit of group E I saw Mark Keane also.
