Well I had the shakedown at Brands Indy today. For all but 6 laps out of 50 it was wet/damp and out of that I literally only got one clear lap in that was dry and tyres up to temperature.
Managed to piece together a 56.79 seconds although I didn't change the setup from Area at all and my 219bhp was somewhat strangled when I got pulled on the drive by noise test and had to buy a exhaust baffle.
They were pretty stringent today, I had a static of 94dbms but was over on the drive by. I still don't quite understand it, I wasn't the only one though.
The car is kind of Cup spec without the wider Rotas and therefore track/grip and I'm 11bhp (before the baffle) down. Fastest lap at Brands Indy in a Cup car is a 55.80, with a fettle to the suspension and some more dry laps I think a low 56 isn't outside the realm of possibilities.
Not a bad day, might of had a little spin down paddock hill bend on cold rear tyres. It was my own fault I overcorrected twice and paid the price. I kept it out of the barrier like a pro though! (If I say so myself!) :Cool:
Obviously my fastest lap wasn't caught on the go pro (13 seconds were, then it died!) but I'll get the final session up and my spin for a laugh.
