Had a great day so much went on
The car was about 3 seconds quicker than last year, at 1 bar I was running at 58.7 seconds a lap and this year on 1 bar was 55.035. 2.2 bar I hear you say how much quicker were you..... 51, 52, 53.......
Well the truth is I didnt realise I was only running 350bhp until I drove the car onto the ragged edge in the final and noticed the car was only producing 19psi. All day wed been wondering why I was only 2 tenths quicker on high boost, I thought it was me. Im gutted not because the car didnt perform more because I should have know there was a problem and could have fixed this with a spring into the external waistgate. Its been a good lesson learned for me and one I will ensure doesnt happen again.
On a positive note I did make the final the top 15 progressed through and I was 15th J
Thanks to everyone who helped me up to and on the day I couldnt have been their without you. Roll on Snetterton on the 12th of October

53.1 I think was his best, car looked and sounded the nuts
I believe he had drive shaft problems towards the end of the day, MK knows a bit more

tommy was suffering badly from understeer for the 1st few sessions, but after a few geometry changes he was looking a bit better but the failure of a front halfshaft meant he was out before the final, he looked too far off the pace sunday so would probaly benefit alot from a day somewhere dialing in the suspension etc. but to be honest oli clark, zen, rc etc will be hard to beat
