April Fool - Fastlane

Winter points Points round 6.

This was my first real race with the b7, I had done a club race before that and the car felt great, however today I switched to smoothie 2s, which have much more grip than gold ellipses, this required me to switch pills, I went from 1 in (c) and 1 down in (d) to 1 down on both blocks. I liked the way anti-squat felt on the gold ellipses, but I did not like it on smoothies, and my car was traction rolling, so I increased track width on the rear end, which got rid of my rolling problem.

Controlled practice session #1:
car felt pretty good, made a few changed in attempt to make it feel better
Increased Ackermann shins by 1mm and it made my cars steering profile feel smoother and easier to drive.
Raised rear (inner) ball by 1mm and it made it faster in my opinion, had much more grip, however we did do track maintenance before that run.
Went to the lowest axle height (+0), it sucked, at Fastlane at least. I hit brakes I spin, I reverted and went to 0mm on outer ball in the rear, it felt better, wasn’t quite fast as the previous 1mm though
Tried bumping it up to 2mm on outer ballstud and it felt amazing, 15.0 was all I could hit with some consistent 15.2s I had a little rolling, with some new tires this was the fastest combination of the day while being easy to drive
1up springs (I had used before today) made the car have more pack and it felt better overall on bumpier tracks

End of the day setup
