...then this guy came along with his brand new Formula Renault...
The driver is only 15 years old and compete at european level against adults! As a comparison he had lap times around low 1:15 and I got at best high 1:27. When I was 15 I had a moped...
Anyway the day went on well and I had time to experiment with some toe settings. Previously I had neutral toe both rear and front. This day I first tried some toe-in on the rears which really made the car more stable and predictable. I didn't had the same problems with corner exit over-steer as before and my lap times went down. Later I also tried some toe-out on the fronts which made the car easier to rotate on corner entry. No difference on the lap times but it felt good and I think it is an improvement. My top speed was really low this day but I don't know if it depends on the toe settings or the fact it was a bit windy.
I polished my personal best with a few hundreds, but my tyres are long gone and I think with a fresh set I can really improve the time!
The day ended when I ran out of battery and the engine stopped! Apparently I have a bad connector to the alternator.
Tyre pressure 19 psi warm all around.
