Mibo (Hrotovice) first round:
- The car was excellent with alu chassis. I couldnt believe it is so much improvment vs carbon.
- I had 8x4 minutes as practice on Friday and 6x5 minutes on Saturday, overall not too much experience but good start.
- My expectation was to be competitive but not so far from P1 like I was on last season (P1 gave 0.3-0.4 sec / lap). This has been improved to 0.1 sec/lap, which was awesome knowing I am not that good fit (I have 2nd baby born recently who keeps me busy 24 hours :-))

After couple of practice it looked I will end up around P5 out of 36 drivers, some x-ray friends came to me and wanted to know my „secret” :-) (we were very competitive last season, this time I was quicker by 0.15sec/lap) however during qualify I made only one misstake - rolled - in the last corner of the last lap, 2-3 meters from the finish :-(... which cost me 5seconds. Rest of the 2 qualifies I went to wrong direction with setting changes (still I was focused on to try different setups) by chaning roll centers (adding shimps) end ended finally on P11, so B1.

I did test motor screw position, 450 oil, camber changes in front, diff oil from 5k to 7k, chassis stiffener, all screws in the chassis. What I didnt test at all: springs (If I had the time I would test them). I want to test 2.6 all around, 2.5-2.8 all around. I wanted to „free up” the front of the car, since it turned very quickly and didnt want to „manage” it with lower dual rate.
In the final B it was an „easy” win with 4-5 seconds win over 2nd. I continoued to „test” the car and this is how I ended up :-). Overall very happy with the car and the result since I knew this is the right direction. Couple of practice more, more sleeping :-) and car will be very competitive. Still Awesomatix and x-ray the challange to beat but they are not that far :-).


To test in upcoming races:
- shorter front track width with arm sweep (worked well) and springs will be my „key” direction, maybe 450 front, 500 real oil combination.

Feel free to share/add your comments, if you have any. Waiting for :-)Christian Donath setup after coming ETS – hopefully he will have a great position and share it.
