Cheers carter and ozone
Had a pretty epic weekend at fcs even the weather was better than expected
Track was 'fun'.First hour was dry and continuing on from are last time they started to push it harder even lap getting into a battle with a friend in his itb rallye which was fun i could nt have me on the bends and was gaining maybe half a cars length on the main straight i decided in the end to let him through.Also noticed how bloody hard it is to overtake aswell ended doing people on the braking down to qaurry which was nt ideal.
Then in the second hour the rain turned up which was interesting to say the least bends which where nt even bends In the dry suddenly started to crop up.I gave it 20-25mins in the wet before having a side ways moment at quarry and thinking to myself its really not worth it.
Car performed amazing as usual.Well apart from me still getting the temp over 90 even with the cooler so will be investing in a 16 or 19 asap.
Few pictures which have cropped up on facebook.
