[QUOTE="yotah1, post: 178417, member: 599"] Trackday yesterday !!! Well, the hassle in the morning with the Oreca packages arriving 5 days late, Chronopost deliveryman who arrived at noon instead of 8 am, and I had to leave without my exhaust insulation fitted. 2 sessions so quick to test stuff, and I cut short the test because of a right front tire valve which began to leak. The car is very agile with the rear axle but not really more than before, the engine weight is not felt, and Devotec did me a killer alignment and global setup on the front wheels (we must adjust the back but I have no more camber plates available). Weighing in at 974kg by Devotec with completely full tank. The engine is top, the box also and my always unbeatable brakes, and now I can overtake the other out of corners too! But Abbeville is a slow track, and I was mostly in 3rd gear and it was a bit difficult to put the power down. Universal joints have taken a lot of constraints, they will need attention. I also have a vibration in the left front hub bearings on heavy cornering, so after this weekend at the Ring I will leave the car at R4R so they can have a look. Small top speed test too, with 800 revs remaining, I was at 220 km/h :) I need to check most of the screws on the car to make sure they don't get loose as mounting some harder silent blocks and rigid box linkage transmits a lot of vibration and I had a few things that were loose last night. On the way back we took the opportunity to go take some pictures to the Normandy cliffs at Criel s/Mer at sunset and a small passage in front of Alpine in Dieppe before heading to the restaurant. Back at 2am at home, and tonight I put it back on stands to do the work on it (yeeaaahhh too happy ...). Well, for yesterday, it was fun to arrive in a Twingo at Abbevile with the others almost laughing (proto with Focus RS3 engine, racing Alpines, Renault Spider, GT Turbo on steroids, radical Williams ...). After the first session and distribution of a general spanking, it was the crowd around the RS with 15 guys asking "what's under the hood? you race in what championship? you're racing driver? you know the track by heart? " I got a good laugh out of it! [/QUOTE]
