Xray T3 2012 racing update

Just an update about my Xray T3 2012


As i said in the shakedown blog, the car drives great. It feels good and smooth, delivers a good driving experience that i'll really impressive with.


I mentioned about the race times I experienced at the shakedown. I have since thought more about this and going on the amount of laps I do is the wrong way to look at it. I realised this when I got to ardent to find the track had changed. Don't get me wrong I love how the track can change like it does.


I thought to myself that counting the amount of laps would be the best way to do it. but when you think about it more I realised that as the layout changes then so will the amount of laps. A much better way to study my improvement would be to look at the consistency of laps times.


Last night i attended ardent raceway's (www.ardentracing.com) club night. Previously I had some races with some very erratic laps times. Last night was no different but on a smaller scale. In my first heat I made a few noticeable mistakes and these are the ones I feel I have to cut out first.


By the last round I had two laps where I was four seconds slower than my average due to silly errors. My speedo is a HPI Flux Reload but this doesn't have turbo function which effects my speed down the straight but I feel i'm quick in the twisty bits, when I keep concentration that is.


Thanks for reading.
