After doing years of HPDE's, instructing and racing, these are the first items I add. Learn to drive a slow(safe) car fast and you will be that much faster and better in a super fast car.

The first thing I consentrated on was chassis and brakes (to me it is the most important) then seats, cage, 6 point harnesses++. The only thing missing is a fire extinguisher, but I will add that soon. I have been racing Superbikes for 15 years so I had some speed in me when starting this project, but like you said I started slow and I progressed quite fast. So now I am consentrating on making the car a little faster in a straight line to be able to keep up with the faster cars on the straight, in the corners ang braking zones I allready keep up. |

Finally got this mounted after some delay, so now I am off for a short Easter holiday in the mountains from friday to sunday and then off to Munich on wednesday to a short visit to G Power. When the car is finished on friday I am off to the Nordschleife.
More pictures will come when I wash the car tomorrow and make it ready for the trip on tuesday. Last edited by Andreas21; 04-17-2019 at 11:18 AM.. |

The car is washed an ready for the trip to Germany, just a couple of days in the Norwegian mountains and then off.
I will run the car on Nankang AR1 tires and I might also bring a set of Trofeo Rs to do a comparison test as a friend of mine will drive his own car down and he has space for a set of wheels. I just need to get the rear tires fittet to the rims on tuesday before I leave. |

Here is a lap at the Nordschleife on May 1 2019. I will post some comments on the Nankang AR-1 tires later.
