This season’s first handling modification was a set of H&R adjustable anti roll bars. There is two possible settings in front and three in the rear. I decided to try something in the middle. Well, I couldn’t do that because while lying on the garage floor (car was jacked about 30 cm of the floor) all my muscle seemed to have disappeared somewhere and the front was set “stiffer”.
Testing took place at Ahvenisto Race Circuit. With stiffer anti roll bars corner turn in felt immediately more responsive and weight transfer was noticeably quicker. This is what these parts are for and they were doing their job nicely. However mid corner- and corner exit oversteer was kicking in. One had to be very careful with gas. Let’s see how milder rear setting affect…
Wednesday is the day for free practice session for everyone. There was a couple of modern formulas (F3 class?) and older ones also. Bikes had their fun for the first half of the day and left the track for cars when it started to rain.
I managed to drive both on dry and wet track. I really enjoyed driving in the rain because limits could be found at lower speeds. The other agenda was to shoot some film and test new Hero 2 –camera. In car pictures shown here are from testing different helmet mounts. “Chin” is a bit too low and I believe that “fore head” makes a better angle.
Just can’t wait for the next visit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VB9yoYNxrg
