True answer on the weight is I dont know exactly. I was told 1194kg by Tracktive when they were prepping the car for Cadwell at one point but I dont know what that did/didnt include, ie driver, wheels etc.

All I know is that ever since then we've took weight back out

Battery company we got it from is here - Race Battery

Yes we have racekeeper system in the car so got all of ours, except its still on the car and not downloaded yet. When I get it back I'll stick a few laps up for you

Yeah Barcroft i think. Very fast corner. But in something with "hel power" I reckon even the esses before barcroft will be very lively.

It's a really nice section that and rewards bravery, but punishes too much bravery quite badly! The run off to the left is basically a crash barrier and it's easy to outbrake Barcroft.

Well it looks like we'll be ok for Snetterton thanks to Showoff Imports for finding the worlds last matching bodykit in the USA for us. After a search of the VIS Racing warehouse and a quick re-primer, the kit is on it's way to us.

It'll be touch and go to get it painted, fitted, and Sri Keres up in time for the trip to Snetterton but do-able with the help of our support team who've done a grand job all year, Tracktive Solutions.

Just a shame we've yet again not been able to do any testing, really need to get the understeer sorted in order to keep pace with the now nitrous equipped VX220 in our class. We have Eibach on the case with some new spring options to try but ultimately it looks like the only time we'll have to try them and see what works best is in the actual time attack event, not ideal!

Oh well, plenty of development left to do and without any testing still the car has done well so far, onwards and upwards!

A few more aero update pictures to show next week too

Are you on the 200 or 300, Ben?
