IDC Round 1 Update

Went up for friday practice, second run and the car developed the same problem again, would not rev past 5200 rpm's. I decided to keep going at practice and see if I could manage to pull of some decent runs.
I was really struggling with power as you need to be going in full tilt on the first corner to carry speed through to get out to clip 3, and then more power to get out to clip 6, I needed the rev range from 5 to 7k rpm's to do this right.
Anyway it was still a great day friday and really enjoyed chasing some of the pro lads, DMac among others.
I actually pulled off some great runs on saturday morning but then qualifying came and it was a disaster.

First run was just brutal, no speed, no angle and only got two clipping points I think, scored a 13.

Second run was much better, speed was still low but got out to all bar 1 clipping point, then just as I was about to come up to the finishing line the car spun out!! I still can't figure out what happened or what I done, just a lapse of concentration for a split second and I got caught out. I was sickened with myself

Overall it was a great weekend, some seriously talented drivers and epic cars this year.

ECU will be mapped and hopefully sort out the RPM problem for Fermoy in less than a month
