Carma Race Coach

Last minute checks over the car after it's long travel to the event bouncing around on the trailer. But we are here at a very chilly Bathurst, ready to have a good crack at the race weekend ahead :)

So today is one of battling through to gain results. We still are bending shocks every time we are out on track which is disappointing but part of the game. This has made it very hard to learn about the car and getting Jayden to make the most of it. Along with this, Jayden has been struggling to eat food the last couple of weeks, and after large weight loss he now is struggling with exhaustion in the car. Adrenaline is a wonderful thing and gets him through. Now the medics are giving him a tune up for tomorrow with a good does of energy from a drip. So tomorrow we start now in 8th after climbing these spots in todays races. Here's hoping for more gains on track tomorrow!

Interesting day today. We badly bent a right front strut insert on lap 1 of practice. Turns out most of the field have been going through the same issues so we decided for p2 we would drive around staying off all the aggressive curbs which is not the fastest way around here. Curb bouncing will happen again in qualifying :)

Race 2 due to start shortly (8.30am local time). Here's hoping for a good clean run again at the front of the field.

Race 1 completed. moved into the lead from the start, though faded a little through the race to finish p2. Fantastic result considering that's the first time we have made the finish with no problems, so now we can tune it up as a race car with what we have now learnt for tomorrow!
