Sunshine today, but probably a wet race

Excellent weather for sitting in the garden watching the day drift by, or maybe having a drink in the local pub's beer garden... but I guess it's not too much of a hardship driving the MaX5 around Snetterton either.

I looked at the 2007 laptimes for the MaX5, so went along aiming at low 1:28's... major frustration that after the first session my best laptime was in the mid 1:30's! Luckily, asking around the pits, others were finding the track equally slow.

I spend the next session adjusting damper settings, and the 3rd session working on my lines.... but I still didn't get into the 1:28's. I tried another couple of setup changes in the last session, and did get a good improvement, but the best time still started with 1:29!

Roll on tomorrow.
