Finished sixth at Cheap Car. A total of four cars finished without penalties - we were the worst placed of the four.
It was an insane day. Lots of carnage, lots of shit driving and tons of penalties.
The damage to our car was a knobber very agressively blocking our ring-in driver’s attempted pass in turn one. Both cars got black flagged. Even now that I have calmed down, it was 75% their fault.
Shit happens, right. But the other team carried on like total pork chops to the point that I went and handed the torn-off BMW side skirt to the Pulsar driver with the words “this is all yours, Champ”. ☺️
I later had a fairly rational discussion with the driver, and ended up shaking hands over it, but their “team owner” is a total knob who is a blight on this series despite his history/credentials.
El Wifeo was held up for almost an entire stint by the other Pulsar, despite frantic blue flag waving and the fact that they were already multiple laps behind.
Apparently the #10 Lancer is no longer. Very late in the day, they were overtaking a much slower car and thedriver of the slower car expected them to go past on the right but accidentally squeezed them into the wall on the left. The driver of the slower car described it as “it’s gearbox is on the ground next to it”...
So yeah, it was an interesting day.
Late edit: Qualified 13th again, with a 63.7 again. Old tyres.
New tyres on the front saw a 63.3 in the race.
The progressive LSD is worn to the point of being useless. Can buy new Torsen type LSDs off ebay for $1000 delivered, rebuild used single-plate clutch type BMW LSDs for $1200, or new OS Giken multi-plate for $2800(!).
They all have their drawbacks.
