Debden 7th March

Postby jeffw » Mon May 08, 2017 5:36 am

I was at Debden yesterday. Weather was a bit off in the morning but cleared up in the afternoon. Lots of cones as always but it is a pretty quick circuit these days. I was in a class of one so the aim was to get in amongst the single seaters on time and be the fastest non-single seater. My best time from the event in October last year on basically the same layout was a 82.11 secs run.

So

P1 80.1
P2 79.8

T1 77.9
T2 75.58
T3 77.10 (tried too hard).

0-100 on a very crappy surface was 6.78secs and max braking G was 1.9G, max lateral 1.7G. Ended up 4th overall, fastest time was a 70sec run by one of the big single seaters.

Snetterton for a double header this weekend.

Near 7 sec faster and consistant you must be happy with those times.

Yeah, the 75 sec run was pretty much the limit, power oversteer out of every corner and max braking. I was pleased I was able to get much faster on each run, I'm building confidence in the car now.

I've got a TPS issue so I'll need to change that out this week and I hope to make a splitter up as well.

Need to sort out changing the rear arms to rose joints and the Panhard. Then it will need a rear ARB.
