So I went out to the track last Thursday for the first time in 6 months.
The car ran OK when I turned the boost right down.
It was the first time I've done more than one lap on R-Comps and the car felt quite well sorted.
Managed a new PB of 67.1 for the long track of Barbagallo Raceway despite some rusty driving. So as expected tyres make a much bigger difference than the extra power I've wasted so much time chasing.
Video below and some nice pics from the night, and full mod list at the bottom.
