putting the fun back in dysfunction

National Road Summer Sizzler AutoX, August 19

without comments

The weather wasn’t what I would call ‘sizzling’, but then again, neither was my driving. Fresh off a new Haldex upgrade I threw down some, ah, less than stellar times last Saturday:

1. 62.661
2. 62.665
3. 63.860
4. 64.071
5. 63.824

Which put me a full second behind the next slowest STX car. Funny thing is, this might have been the most fun day of autox in this car yet. Why? Well, that would be due to the little orange thing I had installed the previous Thursday which transformed this car from an understeering menace (at times) to a neutral, and sometimes, oversteering, all wheel drive monster that now really stressing all four of the Avon M550s for traction. The change is significant and is going to take some ‘relearning’ of how I drive it on the autox course. God damn if it isn’t more fun though. I have to get the video up, from this and last months events for that matter.
