The only way to revive this thread. Love Mr Lizard!!! Never a fan of the two tone hood, even if it was carbon.

Regardless how many are in LG, it's still my fav color on this car, by far. And that's coming from someone that bought it in RY.

We did 600Km of up to 260.
Very gentle until proper heated up.
Only after 500Km have I floored it in 5th, 6 and 7, but mostly under 6000 rpm and only a little closer to 7000 but not yet over.

Basically we did two 300Km runs. One fuel stop.

Wing is on max attack, sounds like a tornado over 250Kmh. And it sucked the tank empty fast.
Barely made it to the fuel pump, they only had 95 octane we thought, filled up 89L.
Ill out some better fuel in after the first session.

Car is wrapped on the front, but they could not complete it.
They will finish it Wednesday after the first 3 track days along with setup as the suspension will be settled by then.

VBox in and seems to work. Track pads and fluid done, need to bed a little first session.
seat bolster covers on, SOUL tips and down turns on, so we were in stealth mode in the left lane LOL.

Nothing stealthy.. even in the dark it is highlighter green...
Losing an hour tonight, so 5 hours of sleep..

Ready for Bilsterberg..

Bilster Berg is a rollercoaster! Try not to spin in the last left before the start/finish straight. Same goes for the ”Mause falle”-corner.
Have fun on your ED and take care.

Just did second session, we can pass sound, everyone here is impressed with SOUL tips.
We do have to lift a little at the sound stations.

Sound is weird, its like the facility has a quota, so that it collects all noise and if they reach a "fillup" the government shuts down the day remotely.
So they have to take the noisiest cars off the track, but it also depends on how many cars are on track filling the "bucket of noise" that is allowed.
Big Bother at the track.

So far minimal issues with the SOUL tips. We were asked to floor it to test it, we went 1dB over, what is considered quiet for this day.
Bilsterberg is a short shift type of roller coaster track, so its no biggy to short shift a bit and keep under 7000RPM. Perfect break in track!!

A lot to go, but this is progress, Chris learns tracks faster then me, so I can push a little harder earlier because I have a second opinion on board :-) :-)

A few pics of today and the fast lap.
Maybe another second tomorrow, don't think there is that much more in it for me.

Lizard is pretty awesome. Insane front end grip.
Bilsterberg elevation is crazy, you get no break and is pretty exhausting to run hard, so far, so god
