Not a bad weekend, even got to finish a meeting for the first time this year.

Qualified no6 in Pro Et, Went out in the first round, my fault, pull a red. No1 qualifier in Super Gas and went in the second round, my fault, sleeping on the lights

yep an excellent slow mo, you can see the car loose grip on the tyre then regain it,....some small adjustments needed not to hit the tyres so hard on the launch perhaps for on the day track conditions.

If needed Dunc yes, rear was set up pretty well so didn't have to do too much with 14" slicks, it always hooked well, unless track was naff or me 60's went away.
However it is something that we do tend to ignore some in favour of the engine side of things. If I had access to slow mo back then or had painted the tyre with a white strip and seen it spin up, I would've been under there a lot more.........
