Had a Good day,

Car behaved, except a few little problem, i run a 51.39 PB on my lap timer in my tt

Fuel surge on left hander, so only half throttle could be used till half way up the hill,

Tyres werent warming up till the last couple of laps of the session

Coolant temps too high allday.



But understeer was very present, My brother was also doing it in his Pulser, But on the last session he took mine out, and couldn't believe the amount of under steer, (as he always sed his has bad underesteer)


I got the pressure's correct after the 4th session, so the tyres were even temps across the tyres ( or well as even as they would get)

But suspension needs changin,


i was running

1mm toe in, 1.5 neg camber and 3 positive castor on front.

1/8 neg camber (need to chop rear beam to adjust this, and i run out of time) and 1mm toe out on rear.



Tyre temps showed the inside of the tread was running 5 - 6 degrees hotter on both fronts, and o/s rear.

So i need more castor on fronts and more camber on rear.


Tyre pressures hot were

F n/s 27psi, 18.5psi cold, temps 73-79oC
F o/s 24psi, 16psi cold, temps 71-77oC
R n/s 23.5psi, 20psi cold, temps all 51oC
R o/s 21psi, 17.5psi cold, temps 45-49 oC
