Very nice, thanks for sharing. I love stuff like that, awesome guys! So, if I may ask, I think the engine is still breaking in? What was the PSI leve you had it at 12 or 14 or? Is that track pretty bumpy, because it seems like you were getting a lot of feedback into the steering wheel?

Do you have to move your hands that much, is it the track or is something that you personally like to do? Just curious, as I like to leave mine on pretty much in the same spots, even if I have to rotate a bit over.

You are welcome! :-)
The track is really bumpy and my car is kind of hard... :-)
the boost was set to 0.8 Bar so the car probarbly made about 400Hp..
As we mention above it´s a bad track not having your LSD gearbox in place..
Could use about 20% of the trottle out of the bends!

Duke maybe have some more info!

Well the track is kind of narrow with tight bends that´s one reason the other is that the TurboCup cars has no power steering and a faster steer gearing wich makes it really hard to turn tight with!

/pete


P.s the last reason is that I have weak arms...

Oh ok, now that makes sense. I had a feeling the track was really bumpy based upon the feedback. And no power steering too? Ouch. And you have weak arms? Go to the gym! Just kidding. You guys looked great. Good for you

Ski: If I may say this pal, any driving school will teach you that you should be either at 9 & 3 o'clock or 10 & 2. Your hands should pretty much stay on the wheel in those same spots (for the most part), unless you are talking about a hairpin, where you will move your hands around. You are doing the right thing, trust me from what I gather.

Great job pal, just great. Glad to see you had a good time together. I can't wait until your car is really broken in and to sse what it can do. You have a sharp looking car too.

Do you have a web site that talks about the car and it's specs? Or is all that top secret?

Another thing worth mentioning is that the alignment that is far, far from optimal making the rear end a bit nervous especially when braking. Puppan handled the car like a true scandinavian rally driver
