MRC Wiener Neustadt - Club Race report
In modified I wasn't really on par with my car... Oh, on the first run of the day the car was superior and I did a 13.0 which some drivers noticed. From that, I was only slower as the heat built up in the area. I was aware about how the grip would change but my changes of the setuo in between the runs where to subtle to cope with the changing track.
My problem was basically corner entry into the slow corners and lack of rotation. Here is what I did and in sequence...
*ARS in the back... Reduced "caster" from 4° to 0° and reduced to gain to 0, reduced static toe in to 2.5.
*Swapped rear end to the normal one. RF 0.5 Up/In, RR 0.5 Up
Removed PSS at the front and changed from progressive 2.5-2.8 for the normal 2.6
*Removed more screws from the engine mount.
Moved the wing 5mm forward
*Rasied the rear RC even more and with less toe. RF 1 Up, RR 1 Up/In
In the end I deffinetily had the steering for the sweeper going out on the straight but the car was a little bit edgy and I couldn't get the flow and cornerspeed that I wanted. Best lap was a 13.1 in the last final.
In the first A-main I finished third, second was a DNF as I had put new tyres on but made a mistake and didn't want to ruin the tyres. I did felt that I was closer in speed to the front runners though.. In third I got a good start just bumper to bumper with second placed driver... When the leader and second place car came together I managed to take on in the lead. After that I just tried to hold the line, not making any mistakes and keep it to the flag. The victory in the last main secured my number two spot in total. A result I have to be satisfied with. The speed these young guys have in modified is tremendous and something I really have to get used to. On this level of grip and not been able to do modify outdoors since the Nordics 2018 I'm very satisfied.
Next up is a race in the Austrian Nationals in September. If I have the time of from work I will deffinetily go there!
