Slalom pics NoHachi & Ivan141

[NoHachi]

Hahaha, prepare to get spanked by a girly car !! That is..if I can keep it on the black stuff, using it as a lawn mower is not good...

Seriously though, Ivan did really wel on his first autoX. There was constant improvement in his time, which imho is the most important thing. In the end he was only 3 seconds of my pace, with even crappier tires and no dampers to speak of. Ah well, he was always the one with the greater talent for driving (damned genetics).
If all you guys start modifying your suspension, you'll be in the same class as the monster citroen 1.6 BX. No power, no suspension, just a set of slicks and 8 seconds quicker a lap than Ivan....scary! Might have to yoin in do some tweeking my self.

The thing you learn at the slalom is that the most significant improvement is to be made with the driver. Sadly is not as easy as some might believe. The first 4-5 seconds are shaved easily from your laps, but after that things get difficult. Seeing the citroen BX put in such fast lap times really puts things in perspective. You could give that driver any crappy car on decent tires and he still would be 5 seconds faster a lap. Only thing you can do is get out and drive...a lot. And I don't mean on the streets.
