SLCC Round 1: Aldershot
Today saw the 1st round of the Southern League Clubman’s Cup at Aldershot.
I was feeling particularly lazy, so I drove up this morning and did a handful of laps in practice. The car was okay, not enough turn in, and a bit twitchy.
The recommendations in the pits from Saturday’s practice was to shorten all the top links, to flatten the car out, and make it more stable. So I tried that, and also removed the front anti-dive.
Round 1 was a bit lairy, really twitchy, but I realised I’d not reset droop, and my diff was slipping. I corrected droop, changed ackerman, but forgot to tighten diff for Round 2.
I got it together in Round 3, the car was stable, decent turn in, speed was okay. I put in a reasonable run, about 10 seconds off TQ, so qualified 6th.
Finals went okay, a 4-into-1-chicane incident left me on my roof, entirely my fault I think – I was a little overexuberant! 2nd final was cleaner.
The racing was great fun though, the cars were so even on pace and setup, so it was all down to driving, nice lines and racecraft. Very enjoyable.
The rest of the rcLazy team had fun, they didn’t have much luck in the finals including letting the magic smoke out of a 10.5 with a nice big burning smell.
A great day out, it flew by.
