Thanks Pops, now I've realised the problems I've been having with the mechanics thinking it's a laugh to swap in a quick steering rack without telling me and I can swap it back I'm hoping to enjoy this more than the last round

Glad you've got that sorted Pete Looking at the records here, a really good lap used to be around 2:55. I think that will be around 2:52 in the new build.

I got frustratingly close to, but not below the 3:00 mark.

Irritating isn't it? At least I'm not alone and I know I'm not ten seconds off the pace.

So anybody started testing yet? I want to know if 2:58s are embarrassing.

2:58's are good IMO. I've just got into 2:58.9. This is a fun place

Had a go today and got down to 2.57.4, but I think there is a fair bit more to come - there are a lot of places to make little slips in the lap. I might sneak into the 55s with a better setup and a following wind, but I'd be amazed if anyone here gets close to a 52!

How wrong was I, LOL! I should be good for this and probably every other race morning noon and night for a while.
