2012 MC Motorsport Sprint Round 2

Last Sunday was the Round 2 of the MC Motorsport Sprint. Like Round 1 I entered the morning session, which started off with cool track and slightly damp grass. By the 4th run in the mid-day the air temp was up and the track was warm.

I've managed to dial out the understeer problem I had in round 1 with some tyre pressure adjustment. I went for 4psi as oppose to 2psi difference from front to back. 35psi front and 31psi rear hot pressures. Also I was rolling the front sidewalls in round 1 with only 33psi hot  in the fronts, so 2psi up on the front seems to have alleviated that problem also.

I have to remember this RAC track is very different to Barbagallo and a lot of 90 degree corners demand alot from the tyres while they are still cold!! had to learn that the hard way with some lawn mowing lesson in the 2nd run.


Anyway, 14th overall and 5th in 4WD Open category. A lot of fast guys out there, love to join the pace of top 10's one day.
