Oooh look, a flag...is it big enough..

[CocoPops]

Red seemed to be the favourite this weekend Al?

[startline al]

Can't disagree there, from very early on it became apparent it was going to be "one of those days" so I made a very early decision to shorten the two middle TA sessions to 15 mins, miss the lunch break entirely (we offered the marshals drift rides at the end of the day during the EDC finals in the cars that were knocked out earlier on) and it soon became apparent that I needed to switch the TA and drift finals. We still got everything out and even had a whole minute to spare before curfew! Very intense day in race control!

Nope, missed it completely for all three laps. The Black one got my attention though.

I can't argue with the Git remark....it's one of the MSA requirements

As daft as it may sound, but have you taped / vinyled over the panel gaps and rough lines (like the lip on the indiscreet surround)? It may have no effect, but I have always questioned what effect some of the cavernous gaps have on wind noise, which in it's self has to be a minor amount of additional drag. Also is there aabsolutely no way of trying to stall the effect of the rear wing when on straights, could a minor mod to the rear clam that you can adjust at the start of a long straight?

Before trying to get clever, its always worth nailing the basics first. Effort needs to go into basic setup, getting the driver comfortable and confident in the car and money needs to go into tyres and testing. Leave the minor aero mods and movable aerodynamic devices to teams big enough to exploit them, otherwise you'll get yourself in a terrible muddle.

Best advice I got. Spend on tyres, worked at Brands.

looks right 1+3 and 2+4 coupled in a 4-2-1, decent length headers

Would this intrude into the boot space
