  • Testing at Snetterton

    Posted on March 23rd, 2009 Duncan No comments

    Well, first track test on the new set up yesterday at Snetterton and I can see distinct progress already.

    Hardly off track all day apart from detailed de-brief with Mr Glew who was there all day with me to teach me a trick or two about driving imprezas fast.  They seemed to work lol.

    So many positives from yesterday:

    - smoother performance from the Solaris ecu meant power could be applied much earlier and progressively. Ran low boost (1.5 bar) to start with but upped it to a little more  ;)   and had a ball  :)

    - handling… wide is good

    - aero works … experimenting with a few rear wing settings gave great feedback that hopefully will translate into other venues.  I need to figure out a way to stop the dents in the double layer metal bootlid getting much worse though lol.

    Some distinct improvements are needed in sump baffling now though.  Even two up, full fuel level and with having to back off to protect it from oil surge around Coram (looking at the oil pressure all the way around) we were clocking quicker times (I am told) than the final of TA.

    There are obviously one or two other small things to sort but in general everything worked like clockwork and I got a huge amount of seat time and instruction from Phil.

    Other improvements to come should improve the car further.
