Ehh, had a great Saturday's time attack event
First of all, I reached and exeeded all my expectations.
Thought to finish into the middle of all the participants and make a time of
~ 1:29.xx, but I finished 27th of 81 and managed to make a lap in 1:26.40.
This was my firs try in such kind of a race and everything went well.
One time after going back into pits my car overheated, because the fans don't turn on automatically and they eved didn't turn on when I tried to do it mechanically.
But luckilly nothing serious happened.
Also, maybe because of blow off or something my car was hesitating on turns when throttle is not released or pushed to the floor.
On the idle or on full throttle it's ok.
I suspect the bov.
.
.
Was planning to take the stock bov, but I forgot it.
All in all, it was a really great experience and i hope next year I will get some better lap time after mods during winter
1.
I think I need a new geometry alignement, because the car is a bit unstable.
It was done about 2 years ago and for streed of course.
Now I think I can align for racing purposes only.
2.
I am planning to take the fog lights off and make a tunnel for cooling the front brakes.
I am really impressed that they did not overheat yesterday in 20mins of track driving, but anyway I think it will be better with some additional cooling.
3.
Get a bucket seat.
4.
Install switch for radiator fans.
5.
Coilovers, if finances will allow it.
6.
CT20 hybrid turbo and maybe EBC.
7.
Probably I will need new tyres and use current ones for training only.
8.
Rollcage behind the seats or complete.
And a lot more in my minds, but I will keep it for myself for now
I was using race chrono soft in my android phone and I can say it's quite accurate.
Only difference between times in phone and in racing equipment is
~0.1s
Also, it showed max G of 3.9.
I dont know if it big
There are also some other measurements, but I don't know what they mean.
Ahh, allmost forgot to say about speed flaps.
I'm not really sure if they help, but something helped me to make time from
~ 1:31.xx
(in monday's training) to 1:26.xx
(yesterday).
Flaps were definitely worth doing, because they costed only time
I noticed front's flowting in monday's training and I didn't noticed or just didn't think about it yesterday.
Magic beans, do it
Here you can see my second run.
Unfortunately I forgot to lower a pressure in a tyres after first run, so I didn't make a faster lap and the rear of a car was sliding.
.
.
After second run I measured pressure and it was 2.5bar in front and 2.8 in rear, when before the first
run they were 2 and 2.3 bar.

And some photos
When I was still first in my group run.
.
.
First run my time was second, second run I was third.
But in my class
(str2500+) I finished 7th of 17.
And that was sad to see.
.
.
I hate our track of small spaces for mistakes and because of bumpy asphalt
(you probably noticed this in video)
That's it for this season and now wait for some modifications
