Cadwell yesterday was amazing!
After the forecast saying thunderstorms it was sunny and dry until a very light mist of rain mid afternoon.
The car was on form, and felt perfectly balanced although fighting a gripper diff all day was like a gym workout! I managed to shave 2 seconds off my FWD lap time and 1 second off my outright time and was only overtaken by two "cars" all day - a V8 powered twin seater and a Radical which I can live with, neither of which were significantly faster.
One amusing incident though, I've recently removed all my exhaust heatshields on my TypeR, meaning the floor gets quite hot after a long session on track.
Not normally a problem, except a previous owner of the car has stashed some weed somewhere, which is getting BAKED and stinking the car out! I could smell it, the TDO could smell it and I had to volunteer for a drugs test to prove I wasn't high!
