nice work Pete, glad to see it made the shake down ok
Thanks Jarred, Yes it was an enormously successful day, there's lots of very complex systems involved and a lot of it can only be properly tested on the track.
The car was competitive from the second run and even with me taking it very easy I was 2 seconds faster per lap than the white car.
There was nothing fundamentally wrong, which was a relief.
It will take me a while to learn how to drive it. I'm not used to the feel of the car and it will take a while to explore the limits of the car and driver.

Nice Peter i guessed you were doing more with the front aero.
Uwe at Kamei emailed me yesterday and will be chatting on the phone this week so I will mention the good news.
When is your 1st race if he asks mate.
Mike
That sort of was the first race
I was hoping to get the car ready and test run before the season started but I had to use the first event for the shake down.
This is the series I'm running in Victorian SuperSprint Championship but I'll pick up a few club level sprints throughout the year too.
Here's a few more pics.

He wasn't going that fast, I think I passed him a few times during the day.
It looked like a fresh build, he was probably working things out just like me.
