Well... Sorry for the lack of running commentary today, but we had a load of teething issues throughout the day. The short video totally sums them up!

- Exhaust movement stopping me getting into 2nd gear easily
- Down on alot of power! Just noticed now looking back on the video that every lap after the 1st the oil pressure had halved... Oops!
- And the final straw was a main shell spinning in Race 1 which would have caused a spectacular ending I'm sure had I not pulled off! Didn't have my spare engine with me to put in.
- Throttle was sticking on down Duffus :O (got this problem sorted by the race though)

BUT on the plus side! All the work done to the car passed scrutineering! All my dodgey wiring skills proved to have no issues throughout the day (even though I missed race 2...). With a bit of work this WILL be a quick car as it is only 2kg too heavy now opposed to 50kg!! :D

Suspension works well, but need to change my settings as it was all over the shop. Needs new front discs as my last seasons set are now well and truely warped.

Car was looking GREAT with it's new paint, and new Dominion Detailing Ltd​ stickers :) Apologies to my sponsor for not getting the car on the podium, it will be there next time though!
