STCC - Southend

In case anyone is interested, heres
my setup from this weekends STCC meeting at the Southend track.

Unfortunatly race day didn't go to plan - track started off very
wet so for the first 2 qualifiers I used an old car and was
comfortably TQ in the stock/13.5 class. Track suddenly started
drying rapidly for the third round - I rushed to get the TC5 ready
to run but ran out of time - hence having to revert to my
"wet" car on a near-dry track and giving up after 5
laps. So I ended pole in the B dissapointingly.

Had the TC5 equipped with Novak brushless power all sorted for the
finals and comfortably set lap and race times that would have
meant me looking for a top-3 finish in the A. Oh well.

If you dont know the Southend track - its VERY bumpy, lots of
hills and height changes, tight and twisty and obviously was
fairly low grip even when dry. Heres my setup:
