From what I can gather.... only spoken to her briefly throughout the day.

Sat - only managed a couple of laps practice due to fuel pump/wiring/battery issues. I think the issue was a loose connection. Pain in the ass none the less.

Sunday - you only get 8mins of qualy and she hadnt tested the car since sat so was taking it easy. She couldnt get the full wets fitted in time. So... she qualified 13th in the soaking wet on 888s (her class can use non-road legal rubber and she had full wets!).

Race 1 - she jumped the lights stopped, then went after all the rest went nugget! She apparently went off (wide on exits etc) a few times but made up some places to finish 9th overall and 2nd in class. It was wet/damp and on 888's

Race 2: Again a cock up with the tyres... this time she couldnt get the slicks Re-fitted in time!!! so she was out in the bone dry on 2yr old 888s whilst the rest in her class would have been on slicks :/ She started 9th, finished 7th but was higher up than that at points I think.

Car still 'lively' at hairpins..... and she made a great start on Race2 - round the outside of Duffis

.... supposed to be

hasnt seemed it this year - hence all the handling problems we've had in TimeAttack.

The 4wd is still working but seems to be very slow to respond
The rear of the car (suspension) needs a rethink

... should say GTRs (R32/33/34) are RWD until there is slip detected at the rears and it the shifts power to the fronts

9/10 fee was coming out of hairpin it was nice drifting control. Loved the SEAT is it ex touring car? Skyline is very quick on the straights when the grips down

Eck - I think so... just F/R not independant FL/FR / RR/L control (other than diffs)

The yellow seat - no idea... seen pics of it but dont know who owns it. Suppercoppa maybe? or is that different shape?!
