2009 is just the year and today was just the day... The day just swung like jazz, it rocked and rolled, and we went to the ring and back in one piece and a big grin on our faces!
Great weather with clear skies and 24 C, little traffic and a well tempered track day.
The F1 circuit rarely opens but what a pleasure when it does... You see, i played for month after month on this circuit with the SimBin M3 Challenge on that same circuit. I managed to do 2:12 laps and the record was around 2:10... And amazingly, with the Atom i was still 12 seconds away! I can see where i can grab another 10 seconds... But then how can you compare real rubber to virtual rubber? This is not a real race event either and it's more a question of having fun, enjoying the car and the track with everyone else. This was also a great opportunity to practice car-passing...
Well, i'll let you discover the videos and pictures as they come in. We are now equiped with a much better camera and the video support is going to come later with hopefully perfect sound restitution (let's not hold our breath here, coz that's just wishfull thinking for the moment.)
On the technical side, i kept the same tire pressures (.8 at front and 1.0 at the back cold) and the rebound was stiffened one notch for the next session with good results... The car didn't skid more...
Here's the videos:
