So! I went to TOTB 2018!
Went at it with the intention to get nowhere and just enjoy myself. Enjoy myself I did!
The Sunday, was absolutely pissing it down from the moment I arrived. Looking at the forcast and with it not going to clear when handling track opened, we all just decided to go for it. You get 5 chances to set the best time. So after 4 chances, I had worked up to 6th place. Being so damp, means powerful stuff couldn't get it down and it evens out the game.
However, after dinner, it stopped raining, the sun came out, it got windy and the track was bone dry in an hour! Meaning all the times i'd done were a waste of time! lol!
So I had one chance to set a good time. Which ended up being 50.05. Giving me 13th. Happy with that, considering the power level, spec level and experience level of the people in front!
Its a very tricky thing to do. Track isn't real (just cones), the track is also complex and you dont get any sighting laps or practice. So many people turn up expecting to boss it, and get made to look fools.
So after that, thought I'd try my dab hands at the quarter mile while I was at it.
1st run, did it on the medium boost setting (240bhp).
Smokey burnout and a good launch. Came back with 14.1 @ 103mph.
2nd run, did it on high boost this time (255bhp)
Huge burnout and I launched the balls off of it! 13.7 @ 103mph.
Which was good enough for 9th I think in the end. Not bad at all!
So. All in all, £100 for a days racing, you cant complain with that at all!
I rocked up, didnt put a spanner on the car all day and the only thing I did was let some air out of the tyres.
Oooopppss. Sorry stock engine!
