Atomcup car on the limit and beyond

Post by 365racing » Sat Mar 22, 2014 5:15 pm

Just came back from a test day at Rockingham. My first time around the circuit with very gusty winds. Something at the rear of the car changed after the first session and I really struggled to carry corner speed or ally the throttle as you will see in this video

Big moments and 2 spins Atomcup at Rockingham

This was a tidy lap to set a half decent time. Ultimate pace is 1.5 seconds quicker than this lap

Edit out the spins, and people would think you were a driving god!  :vroom: ;D What was the issue? Great to watch though...

Not sure what the problem was. Tom at Atomcup has the car and is looking is checking the geometry (toe, camber and ensuring uprights aren't twisted, etc). The steering wheel wasn't straight either - the car still had 4 rotating wheels which is enough for me to get in and drive on the limit :)

Will up date here when we find the problem.
