Then Once again “scooby projects” turned into a Honda garage for the night, And once again si was back with me getting this stuff on the car!!  Cant thank him enough after having a **** day to still help me get this ready. True Legend.
Nothing like having the deadline of a trackday in the morning to be ready for! So we cracked on!
Guages In
We finally got back home for 1:30am, Having to be up at 5:45am for Some sessions @ Mallory park with Welz.
Car performed so well it really did make the stress of the past 2months worth it, First session of the day was just getting used to the car, and getting held up by a fair of ***** that literally wouldn't let you past.
But the second session was awesome, i didn't see WELZ as he was behind me but looked like he was flying past everyone! myself and si passed the whole grid much to our suprise! Our cars are very well matched now so was good fun! Surprised me after seeing si’s recent power figures! really was a great day. I got some on-board footage from mine of me following si, Welz got some footage aswell, cant wait to see it!.
Here’s My On Board, Had to cut it short as youtube wouldnt let me have the whole thing!
