    long time no update... not good!

    so what happend in the last two months:

    treated myself by getting a new trailer, which is much better for the very low nova


    i like that view



    Then took part in a slalom event like every year
    Ready for race and test all the modifications



    1. Training run

    Because the bumper was very low and i didn't want ot to be damaged i drove very slow and cautious.
    But unfortunately the changes on the suspension i made during winter made the car nearly undriveable
    the car just bounced when i hit the throttle



    To be on the save side i removed the bumper after this run.

    2. Training run

    without bumper at least i could hit a pylon without damage... and that's what i did at 0:42
    the suspension turned out to be much worse than last years problems, but on the other hand the EPAS was a real suprise!
    The EPAS makes a real difference even i just set it to minimum assistance

    1. Timed run

    Trying to make the best of it
    At least the EPAS is a real joy! It tranforms the agility

    3. Timed run

    Hit a pylon at 0:48
    Fastest time 1 Second slower than last year :-/



    To the pictures!

    First run with bumper


    first thing to to after winter: empty the exhaust system *cough cough*




    No ground clearance at all






    The track was very dusty this year


    relocating a pylon for wide cars


    ...nuch better now
