    It was a QR happy laps heat cycle. All I can say is they felt squirmy. But I never gave em 10/10ths.
    I could just start to feel the potential for really good lateral grip a couple of times, so I think I'm going to need a better seat and a harness!

          They may take a heat cycle or two to harden up, so being squirmy doesn't surprise me. I look forward to getting some later in the season, and seeing your lap times drop.

            I look forward to quicker laps as well.

            Just got off the phone to MR Tuning. Wing mount manufacturing process is well underway and I'll be in for fitting early next week. Will definitely have rear aero for the 12th but no front aero. That should be ready for Lakeside on March 7.

              Great news on the wing!
              How long will it take to put it together at the track? And how will you fit 4 track rims in as well?

              The rotors are only 345x32, a perfect fitment for the rims which are RS055Rs 18x8.5 ET35.

                Pffft, those are baby rotors

                I'll let you time me next week on the aero install. And I think I'll need a bit of luck fitting everything in the car. Good thing I opted for 235's. That should help a bit

                    If by "one of those guys", you mean the arrogant but friendly kind, who would bend over backward for his Wolf Pack Time Attack buddies, then yes, yes I am one of those guys.

                      Sounds like an ideal opportunity for a time lapse video, should be quite a laugh.
