Any other changes that you feel merit mentioning? |
Thanks - it was a challenging year with Jimi and Carl really upping the level of competition in Vintage. We were fortunate to take the win this year as all of us won, and lost, some competitions by rediculasly small margins.
I'll go in to more detail later but long story short - the front end did what I hoped it would but came with a bit of a weight penalty (compared to what I was hoping). Cooling was phenomenal and suggests we can block more of the grill but overall the front is/was too high and we'll benefit from dropping it down a bit. Jury is still out on the wing - we never had a chance to truly dial it in and tune it before heading out so I think there is room for improvement. All that being said the car the best it's ever been, we easy to drive and performed (mechanically) flawlessly (for the most part) over the week.
The engine is (was) tired when we finished and the transmission wasn't 100% but we're addressing both of those now...
