Im sorry i didn't get the chat with Lewis and Yanina, I said hello.

It was a shame all of the guys in that bottom final were there, looked to all be driving well but must just have been getting used to the new cars and ironing out those teething problems.

Come to Bury next Sunday!

Just got home We had a great day today

It was really good to meet all our drivers and we would like to say WELL DONE!!! They all did really well considering it was near enough their first time out with their Preds and also everyone who was racing would have had their car for a lot longer - so they had more practice etc. I would write a lot more but am knackered and need to get kids school stuff ready. I will have a lot to say tomorrow

We are really pleased with our lads they showed a lot of enthusiasm and potential.

Yanina

Had a good day yesterday, few teething troubles with the new electrics, but it will get there.

Although next time I will have some sleep.

I thought the preds looked a handful yesterday, they all seemed a bit tail happy and never looked comfortable on the track, when you looked at the BJ4alikes they all looked easy to drive.

I think they will be quick on the high grip tracks. but again i think they seem very twitchy and on edge

I think you'll find they looked smooth and comfortable. You've also got to remember that they were first time out cars - not like everyone else who had been running their cars for ages.

There were many cars making mistakes yesterday and did look uncomfortable. I think they did really well and if it starts like this imagine how good they will get after more practice and running the car

yeah fraid i will have to disagree with you there Lee. From the driving i got of my car i thought it was really good to drive. Mine wasn't tail happy at all! I think yesterday was really just trying to find the cars limits, which i did but i really did enjoy driving my car even more than i did your bj4 when i had it. Looking forward to the coming year and the improvements i am going to make throughout.

thats funny... my car wasnt tail happy. Everyones "BJ4 and alike" where on multiple tyres some 3 sets ? i was on one set all day mini spikes rule .

The Predators was fine lee .I had a little couple of interfirence problems with people on my frequency .

My car felt good all day plenty of grip all over. Ed Kerry flew with his X11 which was ace to see, Great to meet Xtreme again . Thanks for help

Garry

Why were you using mini spikes


I wasn`t having a go chaps, just stating what i saw and others said the same too, they didnt look slow, they looked very sharp and responsive, they would probably suit my driving style ( i drive like a girl). They just looked too sharp at times and caught the drivers out.

They are very sharp and responsive that's the sort of driver they need -Sharp and Responsive
I'm sure the 'others' who saw it too have never driven one We were on 1 set of tyres all day too
