Default 3 Door Launch Control off the line at Shelsley Walsh

This from my last run of the day last Sunday at Shelsley Walsh it looked like I'd finally beat my PB from last year 34.77 as the car was going really well then the heavens opened just before my run made it abit slippy and I did a 35.11 which also cost me 6th place (6th did a 34.94 in the dry) and I finished 7th out of 17
Well there's always next year, to be far the Launch Control could do with dialing in alittle as well still to much wheel spin.
Here's the video of the run from the start line and a couple of photos into and exiting the Esses alittle bit sideways

I run 255/40/17 888's on the rear so that up gears it quite abit.
I have a 4.3 CWP to go in the diff to see if that helps.

Hope it does that must be mega frustrating especially when going up hill.
I'm tempted to sack in the whole show car thing with my XR3i and strip it for hill climbing. Only done it once but that was enough to hook me!

It certainly pulls alot stronger from low down, still ironing out a few issues so i'll give a full review once she's running mint
