That is certainly some serious plowing :lol: at least you and the car escaped unscathed though, that's the main thing 8-)

What's the plans for the car before next season?

It depends on what the class structure is for next year. I'm thinking shed a load of weight and fit a slightly smaller rear wing or find a different solution. Plus a gearbox rebuild.

:lol: @ nitins comment

great result Al 8-)

interesting reading the speed trap results with you and third place guy running similar times but the subaru in your class achieving markedly better speeds :?
so it seems to be all down to speed on the straights - i know your cornering speeds are excellent
mid sized wing might be a good compromise for the aero :)
