New adjustment of the front axle. the disturbance will remain a mystery. The last setting was -4 ° and there was -3 ° and -2 ° ????
When disassembling, we notice that the hub / damper eccentric is upside down. By turning it 180 ° we get -7 ° !!!!!





The adjustment will be completed by the damping heads.

This afternoon, it was the check before races for the 968.





Bleed "old-fashioned" brakes to feel the stroke and pressure of the pedal;




Replacement of 2 screws on the plate of the left shock which turned in the void !!!! Longer with braked nut under the plate and it is set.





Disassembly of the flat bottom and checking of belts and tensioners;Check gimbals.




2hours and the car is again on his trailer ready for Dijon !!!!

The plateau P1 promises to be loaded !!!

A summary of this second meeting Historic Tour Dijon ...............................Thursday morning, it was the departure for Dijon and the 600km to swallow. Little lunch break under the sun


15:30, the cottage is taken .... with rain from Lyon!


18h, the camp is over, we found the friends !!



The drink will not delay!


Friday morning wake up under the sun !!!! Who illuminates the countryside ....



10:40, free practice that I will do in MSport Cup2, just to remind me the track. Many people and it's not the moment to hang on !!! 22nd time 1'39 "615.We will see this for the qualifications


4:50 pm pre-grid for the qualifications !! The weather is cloudy and the temperature is low. It is necessary to heat well before if I want my oil temperature to be above 65 ° C and to be able to use the turbo with the maximum of pressure. We heat so !!Difficult to have clear turns with 38 cars on track !!! Etr with high speed differentials !!In short, 16th time / 38, we will be in 8th line for the start of Race 1 of Saturday.



It is the sectors 1 and 2 that lead me a little (17th and 20th time) while the S3 which includes the curve of Pouas and the straight line succeeds me better (13th time)



The drink is served, we will chat about our weather and the weather !



Saturday morning, rain and rain !!!


No hope for Race 1 which is at 13:25, we will ride the rain tires, with uncertainty, these Dunlop are from 2015, when I bought the car!




Difficult to tell this race under water and in the cold !!! The video will speak for itself ....... but the result is there, no fault, the manettino remained on Turtle except for a banzai overtaking in the straight line to get rid of the BMW # 87 .10 th in the general / 35 and 3rd in GTC2 ...... so podium …


Again, sectors 1 and 3 are not favorable to me, and it is still in the S3, the fastest, or I'm not bad!


Dijon 1 = Podium GTC2



Sunday 9:30 pre-grid for the C2. the track is dry but freezing. It snowed Friday night in a storm !!

Facebook Post

start is not great and I remain a tone below because I think not to make a mistake and stay on the track. Manettino on hare then little by little we open on Head of Death. Safety Car following a big crash of a BMW at the exit of the parabolic which gathers everybody. There are only 3 laps to go when the race resumes. And there, surprise on arrival, no other GTC2 that ... me ??? The 3 cars in my group met ... ... the black cat who, for this time, left me alone !!!13th overall / 36th and 1st GTC2

And to close this GT Classic on Dijon, the 968 on board video of Race 1 Saturday afternoon. A race under a freezing rain from start to finish !!! A hat-trick to the marshals who ensured a maximum and in execrable conditions. Many positions have no shelter ... respect for these volunteers without whom no race could take place. Note F1 / Le Mans style lights that greatly facilitated the viewing of information to pilots; especially the yellow ones for the dangers on the track and the blues for the overtaking of cars faster. Because it is true that windshields and retros are often misted.

It was today the check before race for the 968. First, a little do-it-yourself at home with the installation of a manual fire extinguisher because at the last checks, the technical commissioner did not validate the passage piping between the rollbar and the hunt !!!



And since the automatic fire extinguisher is not mandatory in Classic, a manual will do the trick; fixed on a bucket seat support plate !!!




Travel to Castellet Car Motorsport for the "good to run" !!



Drain (New Kennol oil offered) and change front pads.There too, change, we go from the RS14 Pagid RC6 Carbone Lorraine, model that I already in the back.




General tightening, check levels, and it's over !!! In short, the routine simple, no surprises ...... .Albi is in 18 days ... ... I can leave quiet in the island of beauty next week ...... .Pietra and figatelli on the menu .......

In passing, a look at a Cayman Cup that was going to find a new engine following the problem of cylinder scratches. We always make beautiful meetings at CCM !!
