First outing for Tyra at DECA (aftger tragically missing last year), and first place outright. Can't complain about that.
For some incomprehensible reason, the motorsport group of the club collectively voted to drop this event from the championship in future, so this is the last time this will count. :o( Stupid decision. This is one of the trickiest events - you only get one or maybe two shots at each course, and how you drive is more important than what you drive. Oh, and the weather always plays a part - this time was no different, with rain on and off throughout the day. Fortunately there was a dry run at each course possible.
The first release of results had me in second place behind Sam - SHOCK - but after querying one of my times I gained 6 seconds and one place.
Brake too late, and you're through the garage and get a time penalty. Oops. Lucky then that Greg messed up the timing and I got another go at this course...
An open diff really doesn't help - you just spin the inside rear. Oh for an LSD! Pity that I can't get one AND do the suspension, AND stay in Clubman class...
Precision is the key - you've gotta be close to the cones. Think I need some stiffer suspension?
Thanks to Roady for the photos.
