Oh dear. Not good! I broke my foot marshalling years ago. Jumped over oncoming trucks and landed awkwardly.

@GarethJaineRCRacing Ouch

Would of liked a little more slow speed steering but otherwise stable and easy to drive

I believe it helped the transfer of weight to the back on power so the rear was stable out of corners. Combined with the anti dive which I can only imagine helped a tiny bit to really sorted the car out for that Q3 and the final. I suppose I could have dropped my rear spring down to 2.5 from 2.6 may of had a similar effect but this change hasnt effected the side to side balance.

I’m sure it’s not every race that happens!

It’s good to be able to watch it back and see exactly what we were both doing at the time too. At the time and the speed of it all it’s hard to know how much room did I leave for them etc

Pretty much every Friday evening. There’s a winter series starting on the 6th Oct also.

Thank you

The first think you notice is the front end. Back to back against the B6/7 it’s like night and day. You get used to it though. I think I need a bit more turn in and a bit less turn out. Just to lock that rear end in out of the corners

Yeah I went up 1 front spring rate and was running a 1.9 front roll bar to make it safe in the high speed corners. I’d only removed 2 outer rows and 1 inner row off my mezzos (front) too.

@@GarethJaineRCRacing For sure the extra rows on those mezzo’s would make it grab, been getting used to that on my 4WD all season (much slower than you). What do you expect to happen with thinner/thicker roll bar?

Thicker roll bar keeps the car flatter into corners where the suspension is loaded up. Essentially the thicker the bar the less grip is generated on that end of the car. So a thicker rear would give you more steering out of corners keeping the rear flatter and preventing load transfer

@@GarethJaineRCRacing thanks, will add that to my setup notes

@chowettgoes 👍

It chucked it down after heat 2 round 4. Once it stopped it didn’t rain again

Cheers. A few wobbles but got lucky

Yeah I think I’d made setup changes in the right direction come the final. Certainly closed the gap up! Back again next weekend

Cheers dude. One of my better runs there!

Kinda just a natural thing for me when I make contact. I might have been able to get the move done had I committed a little more. Sort of gave up trying once I’d hit him.

Thanks

Both Paul and myself seemed to have a bit more drive and could make the jump a lot easier than at the regional

@@GarethJaineRCRacing I’m guessing that’s the track surface. As you’ll know way more than me. Gives more grip when not baking hot 😅

Thank you 👍

Yeah amazing weather. Great racing. Couldn’t ask for more

It didn't help that I had to stand the opposite end of the rostrum to where I stood in qualifying. I was looking across the double before and in the final down onto the top of it. Silly mistakes on my part defo! onto BMR!

@@GarethJaineRCRacing does make a massive difference when you have to move on the rostrum

Car felt great all day. Those new 13mm shocks made it feel like it floated around the track too 😁 Just silliness in the final really. Good launch mind!

Yeah quite close a lot of the time

17.5 blinky

yeah he's pretty rapid!

Yes it was!
