We completed first test after shunt
Hi, friends!
We drove a small race called chronometer yesterday and it is all about lower speeds but it is good for a training and to feel the car. I must be sincere and tell you that I am still little bit in a spasm after last rally when we finished in the wineyard.
I am filming all my competitive drives (testing also) just to see where am I under pressure and it is good to watch and to analyze what can be drive better.
Now I can see that I must be much more aggressive in some of the corners but it is so different to drive Citroen C2 R2 Max to my old car Seat Ibiza GTI: Citroen is a full factory rally car and it must be driven on 100% to be with the good times.
There is another thing: I start to get into a rhythm after aprx 1km and this races are long something more then a mile. So usually when I start to get into the rhythm, it is already over on chronometer.
At least I tried to drive the car faster then I can drive it on the normal road and it felt nice.
The next is another test on the closed circuit probably in June and then we will see. I must find the 102 octane fuel for the next outings.

Seems like a good run, and a good test of low speed limits to limit power-on understeer.
Well I can tell you that these Pirellis are so new and good that grip is just fantastic. And the tarmac was very hor with outside temperature close to 30C. :) I had RA7 (medium compound) in front and RK7W (soft at the rear). Better combo would be RK5 (hard in front because of the warm tarmac).
