Today was the first practice day for us and it was a little bit of challenge... The track is super smooth and hardly any bumps. However, the racingline is very narrow and if you miss it slightly you have no tracktion at all.
Our car was not set for the conditions today. We decided in the morning to run with a brand new car which only did have a 3 lap shakedown. Maybe that was not the right decision In the first and second run Marcus was really struggeling with the car. It was not going well at all and very difficult to keep the car close to the curps. For the 3rd and last run we decided to soften up the suspension (from pink/purple to blu/red). That in combination with other brand of tires compared to first and second run gave us at least a step in the right direction. We still have some work to do, to say at least
For tomorrow we have decided to switch back to our old car and upgrading it with some new suspenstion parts which Serpent handed out to all Serpent drivers (new larger upper alu bracket and a new shorter upper wishbone.
We will also upgrade to some alu parts which hold the antiroll bar in the front. The plastic ones ar not up to the standard you should require which makes it a little bit tricky to adjust the anti rollbar correct. Here you can see how it looks like:
Who is then fast on the track. Well, it is the usual names. Here are some of the fast guys:
R Pietch 16.005
D Balestri 16.065
I won´t tell you our fastest time today... :-)
