Next topic.... Lol just kidding.
After we arrived at the track Friday morning, I found my radio was broken and missed half of controlled practise because of it, in the end I had to use Andy Moore's radio with one of Juho's receivers.
This was fine except the Sanwa system put my KO to shame. It was so much faster it's unreal. This caused problems all weekend with clipping corners having used the same radio for 7 years :-/
So qualifying went crap. Ended up down in like the E main, 45 out of 140, it doesn't sound that bad, but the car easily had pace for top 7 IMO.
The TC6.1 was pretty great all weekend, I couldn't fault it,
The only changes made were to put the long front link in, heavier diff oil in rear, and gluing up the side walls of the tires.
Funnily enough I won the E main comfortably with times that would put me 8th in each round of Qual... Did I say top 7? I meant 8th lol.
The trip overall was great, lots learnt, like don't rent I hire car with Juho, this poor Peugeot 508 had 2500 miles on the clock and ended up being red lined from cold, huge flat spots on rear tires, and a very funny SOS button that if you press it and italian man starts shouting at you.
The food there is epic... No other way to describe it.
And Scandiano track, although it may be indoors, is fucking cold, we brought a heater on Thursday. The best €30 ever spent! Which we donated to the local club after the event.
BRCA winter national this coming weekend at our test track of Ardent, it should be good with the amount of laps I've put in there.
Anyway until next time Ciao!
