Gummen Lelystad meet 29-04-2007

[Mux213]

Damir,

I'll pass on the tinkering with cars for the time being Maybe one or two evenings helping people out but right now with almost being a father, I have other responsibilities. Lelystad for now was the last event for me aswell. I'll pick up the pase again halfway/end of Juli I think. Plenty of things todo on both Hachi and Volvo...

Robo's times were very good especially considering he had rarely driven my car before. Only the speedster and MR2 were faster, the speedster having alot more HP on a much lighter chassis, and the MR2 driving on slicks.

The MR2 did faster laps in the morning session but never finished a lap without knocking over pions (or whatever they are called).

That said, I found it amazing that Rohl driving the MR2 was able to put down times so close to the Speedster. The MR2 had its suspention and slick tires going for it, but at the same time the engine wasn't tuned and probably giving only 80 or 90% of its original output while the speedster is brand new.
The final times don't show it to well because his fastest laps he kept hitting a pion but those laps did show he could do such times. The pion he hit usually where at the end chicane added to take the speed out of the cars.
