P5 in qualifying and P4 overall in the race. That National podium still eludes me but getting close. Very challenging track, bumpy with a fast banked corner and aggressive kerbs. Focussed mainly on shock tuning for this one, and it worked really well.

I highly recommend progressive springs for a bumpy track. It really helps with keeping the car settled. I've moved to using a Core RC 2.2-2.9 progressive spring on the front and an Xray 2.3-2.6 on the rear. This was a really nice combo. More running with my drilled piston shocks again also, upped the oil viscosity to 560 (TLR 42.5wt) giving a roughly equivalent feel to 375wt with stock 4 hole pistons but with less pack.

Also added rideheight and reduced rake to help with the bumps. Adding too much rake would make the car inconsistent and difficult through the banking. 5.6 front and 6 rear was the sweet spot for these conditions.

Overall super easy to drive and really fun in race trim. With more time under my belt now I can also say that I'm very impressed with how well the car is responding to set up changes. Theoretical changes on the workbench are always responding how I expect them to in reality and trackside changes also do exactly what I want them to. This gives me more confidence in making tweaks before an important run which is exactly what you want!

Thanks to Zen-Racing as always for the support.
