My Red E46 sprint car

Awesome

Interested to know what you've done to get down to that weight. Still running heater matrix?

[rstoughy]

We're you faster? Or have you got a bit of learning to do first?

Was faster by roughly 1.5sec a lap which at Knockhill is a huge amount giving that the circuit is only 1.3miles long.

However I am a firm believer that there is always learning to be done. I'll book the track for another afternoon shortly and work on the car set up as it has not been touched for over a year. Would be good to get some "know how" on that.

So race 1 for 2016 went well.
No issues with the car apart from me having to learn to drive it again.
Its a totally different car with all the changes over the winter.

Managed a 1st which then changed to a 2nd after the event due to a timing issue with a competitors car. Only 2/10's sec in it so was gutted.

Next time.....lol

Cheers lads.
loving the car at the minute. It was a really hard slog to get it done as never touched it between DN13 and middle of Jan so about 2.5 months to do everything.

So huge changes throughout the winter.
Full T45 cage, CF roof and a mountain of weight loss.
Car now weighing in at 1260kgs wet.

Absolutely awesome, decent weight as well.
