    peak power i gained 1hp with the calculated drag and all that guff

    through the midrange i've lost 5hp at the wheels constantly meaning i cant get out of corners very well

    Hopefully there is a buy 1 get 3 free on Driveshafts at the minute.... Crap weekend for me....

    Qually: got 3 flying laps then popped a driveshaft right out and had to get towed back in. ended up 6th on grid.

    Race 1, failed hub and ABS sensor which meant driving in the wet with no brakes then locked brakes and nothing much inbetween, decided to park it up as I had collected gravel from all the traps and I was getting closer to the tyre walls.

    Race 2 started 14th and got up to 6th in 3 laps which was awesome but then went through the chaicane and popped the shaft again, this time it popped back in and I was able to finish but with a terrible vibration and another fecked shaft.

    race 3 started 6th and had no ABS from the outset, finished a lonley 6th....

    Thanks to Craig Noble and Marc Binnie (who has Drive shaft Knee) for all their efforts, they changed everything that could be changed. Looks like the car needs a wee pull to straighten something up.... I had better shut up before I get too technical and get a nose bleed...

    Well done to the podium finishers especially Jordan who has had a tough start to his season.
