The track is very tight and twisty, but also low grip. I started off pretty much with the Reedy race setup.

Played about with it during open practice and the first two qualifiers but definitely wasn't happy with it. Saw Andy Robson's car going very well. So quickly changed the setup over and the car was 100 times better. Qualifed 5th on this last run, but had a few silly mistakes, without those I should have been looking at top 3.

Unfortunately it the rained for the finals so switched to my wet car. Thanks to Andy and his dad for helping me out! Heres the setup
