motec session – new setup

we had a very funny motec session today. we tried to do some analyzing and we finished with wild interpretations of several diagrams without getting any helpfull informations out of this. after the decision that a speed diagram has no relation to mass murder statistics i came to the conclusion that my setup is a little bit overdamped. another idea was that my rear wing seems a little bit too tough because i have no oversteer in high speed curves. so i changed the front dampers and set the rear wing to 8 and went out for a test. i did 4 laps, warmup, 8:45.7, 8:45.5 and 8:43.6 and this was really surprising. the car was a little bit light under braking in curves, that was what i was expecting, but it performed well on the other sections. my two 8:45 laps were really cool, i had a very good feeling with the car and my 8:43 lap was a little bit overdriven but there is still some possibility for improvements. i think this is a great lap time since this is a race setup with 75 litre of fuel and a suspension which is forgiving for small mistakes or light contacts with opponents. i should be able to get very equal laps with this setup.
