Takeshi's notes:

  • This is the setup of the practice car as of the night of October 31st.
  • The front wing is RSD Small.
  • As it wasn't turning well, the rear stabilizer was changed to 1.4. Accordingly, the rear shock mount position on the tower side was moved inward. The shock oil and springs were changed. I tried to optimize it.
  • The rotation direction of the rear tires was changed to [A] (top towards the front). (This is the direction that makes the rear lighter)
  • For the springs, if we're talking about Associated, the front would be blue or yellow, and the rear would be around blue or yellow. (The 1-UP rear green spring is not yet released in Japan)
  • For the rear wing, the back is 8mm down from the cut line. The side dams are also 3mm down.
  • For the battery, we plan to use the new RSD 1S size 4600 for the actual race. (Planning to test it this weekend)
  • It was quite good. We might have found 0.2 seconds. Finally able to choose lines. The rhythm is considerably faster. It might be the first time I felt it turn after softening the rear spring.
  • Although we haven't done a full 5 minutes, I think we're in a state where we can aim for 20 laps under 5 seconds (15.25 average).
  • For now, we plan to work a bit more on the springs, confirm the movement in different conditions, and decide on the final specifications for the actual race by the weekend.
