Winter work in progress. Getting ready for the 2015 season.

I hope you have fun and your results continue to improve!

The first race of the season is over. Vallelunga (Italy, near Roma) was a little difficult for us. Not the start of the season we expected.
We have experienced clutch problem early in the practice sessions and could not fix it. It was impossible to put the pedal down to the metal without clutch slipping.
So we used only half of the acceleration and got on the rpm gently. Very frustrating. But we decided to do the race nevertheless.
We qualified 18th out of 19 (No comment !) and started what was more cruising than hard racing.
It should be pointed out that Vallelunga is a very nice track but despite a first part that is quite fast, most of the circuit is quite slow with lots of corners we had to take in 1st, so in any cases in was the most difficult one of the season for our Camaro.
In the end due to lots of DNF, we finished 7th, quite unexpected ! We got back home with 15 points in the pocket and can't wait to express ourselves at Spa for the next round, where it will go muuucchhh faster !
