Well finished up my Drivers school, got my competition License and attended my first B-Spec race. Its been a long weekend but I finally have some time to reflect over the past weekend at Buttonwillow. We ran configuration 14 cw
![]() The car performed about as well as expected, the weight and suspension are holding it back, spinning the inside tire on every corner aside from Riverside was extremely frustrating. High speed stability is still questionable, but somewhat easy manage if you keep the speed below 95. The car really needs some more rear roll stiffness ala TRD bar or something. The stability issue was probably tire or alignment related, haven't figured that one out yet. I had 2 Honda Fits to compete against and the 5 second gap between me and the faster driver of the Honda Fit is likely something I wont be able to overcome with the cars current setup. While it was quite fun dicing with the slower driver, but its difficult in knowing I have a long hill to climb if I want to keep up with the faster cars. All in all I'm finding it very hard to get motivated with this car as penalized as it currently is. A few tweaks to the weight and suspension, and it should be good.
