Stop! Envy is not my strong suit.

Geez, I dunno. They said they were rubber and Akron was covered with rubber dust. Poly nothing else existed then except as an underground sex term. Billy Caspar was allergic to rubber and couldn't play in any of the huge tournaments in Akron. Back then, Akron was famous for The Soap Box Derby, golf capitol of the world, rubber dust on everything and being the only town dirtier than both Cleveland and Detroit.

A week before putting the new Sport Cup2 on the track of Bugatti !!!



This is an opportunity to discover this circuit and especially to find that the new settings will ask these tires. I think at the end of the two track days (6 hours in all) I could find good marks in terms of brake settings (distributor); absorbers (hardness and height) and rear stabilizer bar (3 positions).





The weather does not look very favorable !!!! We will with .........................

Back Le Mans !!! That water, that water and cold to see the circuit and the behavior of the car with his new MSC2 !! Not ideal what.
Evening stage Alés on Thursday night and early morning departure on Friday, towards Le Mans. In convoy with Butzi that would stretch a GT3 waiting to finish the 944Cup. Water almost the entire trip and to mount barnums in late afternoon.



Saturday morning, cold and overcast weather !!! Track with 1°C and soggy !! the racing rain we leave for the two series in the morning. The car behaves well, but beware of braking without ABS !! not easy to find the right distributor notch.
After lunch, we decided to put the new MSC2. Not a success because the car is not running in the tight and "sledge" to braking; but especially racket 2 and 3 at acceleration of the 3600tr / min approach. We will stay on the prudence and pass the 2.

Sunday, the sky is somewhat clear but must scrape the frost on the car !! Of 0 ° to the ground and the first round will be 9 a.m quiet. It eased the shock absorbers from -6/30 -13/30 Front and Rear -28/51 -32/51 in. It is already very sensitive and the track drying for the series 10:30, the behavior of the car is easier
the video of this series


Lunch break and is confident for the sky remains clear for the series of 14h. The MSC2 begin to take their temperature well and good pressure. I begin to align regular time around the target: Me approach the 2 '!!!
The video of this series was the most disputed with beautiful "battles"



The series from 15.30 should be more fluid because some began to to repack. We'll have to apply to a time and validate these settings.
The car is easy, I can raise by 2 and apply myself to be regular. I will bring a series of 2'02 "... and finish with a 2'02" 067.
The video of this latest series






Dark clouds and downpours shunt the last series scheduled to 17h !!! And it is under water ... again ..... we will to repack all the equipment








The car remained on Alés at Classic Auto Sport to make a good check on the tightening and decrease a little camber AV train.
The next step is in a month, and it will be on Lédenon

Yes, but the engine and gearbox are on rigid supports. Certainly a clearance in the linkage.

A small foray into the net meanders and I was able to extract a lot of photos on the 968 that has served photographers during the 2 years following its construction

Always Care before and after the races





Although surrounded by a family of LDCs maintained by "Race For Fun"






Of Track Days for settings




But above all the races !!!



And still no misplaced on the starting grid !!!






And beautiful tussles on the track












Not a common look .........







Figures !!!!!





In short, she gave happiness to all who were first built and controlled and maintained .....................





His new career began in France there are only a few months and already a lot of pleasure and satisfaction at the wheel and his new mechanic also appreciates the lot !!!!
To be continued........................
