alexis in greece 29 Report post Posted September 11 After all this delay we finally got racing.And then again everything went wrong.Going to Nick I got trapped in a traffic jam due to an accident,was stuck there for more than 1 hour.As a result we could race only 2 lanes ,will do the rest tuesday.Then my cameras battery run out of power and I had not my charger,result only 4 photos.On top of everything else I left the memory stick withthe files on Nick's laptop,he will email me them during the day.So here is an appetizer We had 3 casualties,#20 and #15 the pinion slipped after 4 and 7 laps respectively,#27 (Nick'scar ) slipped through his hand and ended up on the floor,broken post.We could not repair them in place but will do today and run the missed lanes on tuesday. The car that stands out is #21 fast ,stable in a class of its own.The Lancia was lacking grip.The yellow Jag and the open top Porsche were sliding sideways under braking resulting to a costly(time wise) deslot on straight line under the bridge.

alexis in greece 29 Report post Posted September 13 Results of the first 2 lanes Some comments on the cars #98 she will catch you by surprise and roll #12 slides sideways under braking #28 Jag ditto #71 no grip #111 could use some more grip #99 was running reverse,,each time we had to switch track direction #20 pinion slipped.I have already fixed it but crown rotates out of round and I am afraid it is going to happen again It is the best grid since I took ever both performance wise and looks 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Gunn 79 Report post Posted September 14 Expect the lack of grip is due to the amount of time the car has been waiting to get going when it left here was spot on, same as it always was Alexis , should get better with use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alexis in greece 29 Report post Posted Thursday at 06:27 AM Race results and comments: Nick drove lanes black and blue and I drove yellow and red.Blue and red were the 2 inside lanes at the hairpin following downhill section which favored cars with good brakes: 658 ,the car that suffered most at the hairpin 111 good car 99 gearing seems wrong could use a higher ratio 98 a beauty but it got you by surprise and rolled 87 good car given the width and height excellent 86 needs a bit more attention to the front end could eliminate the offs 71 I dont think the sprung guide is a good idea 66 good car finished 12th in 2018 now 6th 40 too much body rock tyres rubbing the body 28 Alpine good car given the width and height excellent 28 Jaguar very good car but sideways braking gave 2 very costly deslots on straight line at the downhill section 27 good car but cound not beat 21 for slimlin class honors 21 I wish I could build chassislike this,if fited with a big motor it would be in a class of its own 20 the pinion slipped 3 times then I had to retire the car.The crown rotates out of round and I think this is the reason 19 needs attention to the front end ,it is the cause of so many offs 18 it was quite a surprise as I had not touched it after the 1000 laps test,it makes me consider making 1000 laps run in a standard procedure 15 hoping rear end needs attention 12 ery good car but sideways braking gave 2 very costly deslots on straight line at the downhill section 11 very good car 5 Lotus front end needs attention 5 Daytona,very good car,Nick loved it 2 Very smooth and considering front engine perfect 1 Very good car but I takes a couple of laps until you feel cnfident Results Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
