LOL. The only one being punched would be me followed by a swift kick to my nadgers to make sure. :blackeye

Ashley did well particularly given that she'd driven the car only twice before; once round her village and she did the first 60 miles or so from my house to Ashford services on the way to France. Anyway, that's her Christmas present sorted - a Walshy day at North Weald. :lol

Thanks 'mate'! :lol:

Btw the 'Bumble-Bee' had no off-track excursions the whole trip apart from your 'Uncle Ron' line (as shown above) through the chicane at Folembray. :lol:

There were a few spins at Abbeville but all on the tarmac.

Just remembered the 'Judges' on the pitwall at Abbeville scoring the drifts out of the last corner. I think Uncle Ron was paxing? Never did get that perfect 10. :lol:

Yup, chargecooled S/C Honda...
Had 2-way Ohlins but the damping was not even set consistently side to side. :shock:
Walshy made some adjustments after being in it. I think it was setup like tut's car at Dijon last year... :lol:

Did we not harden the dampers a bit at Dijon?

It does look like maybe it could use a little more spring on it :-) What are the regs for LOTRDC re: 2-11 suspension?

2-11 has to be almost completely standard...

I have a hazy recollection of reading somewhere (PH by Scuffers IIRC) that LOTRDC rules mean dampers must only be single adjustable; hence Hoffman Nitrons are the choice to have? Perhaps it was only in the lower classes?

2-11 is specifically mentioned in the regs though, has to be standard:
http://www.elisetrophy.com/Docs/LoTRDC_ ... s_Ver5.pdf

5.7.4 Suspensions: Class B
5.7.4.1 It is strongly recommended that all cars have upgraded rear toe link kits (A111D0127S or
equivalent). It is recommended that Toyota engine cars are additionally fitted with rear
chassis brace kit (LOTAC05377).
5.7.4.2 Wishbones may be changed but must retain the original geometry and dimensions (e.g. all
mounting points must be the same relative distance and angles apart). Spherical joints and
solid bushes are allowed, but adjustable mounting points are not allowed.
5.7.4.3 Rear toe link inner joint may be relocated to the lower wishbone, however, it must remain
in the same horizontal plane as the wishbone.
5.7.4.4 Suspension uprights (sometimes known as Hubs) can be changed for alternatives (i.e.
Lotus motorsport) but must retain original geometry and mounting point locations (e.g.
wheel centre must be in same position relative to upper and lower wishbone mounting
points). Standard Uprights may be modified to achieve more camber.
5.7.4.5 Dampers are free, as are the damper brackets to the chassis.
5.7.4.6 Spring rates are free including use of helper springs.
5.7.4.7 Front anti roll bar may be replaced by an up rated one using the same design and mounts
to original. No additional anti roll bars can be added (i.e. rears etc).
5.7.4.8 Must retain original steering rack. Quicker ratio pinion is allowed.
5.7.4.9 Steering arms may be changed from OEM but must retain standard ackerman and
upright/wishbone mountings both physically and geometrically.
5.7.4.10 Any modification is prohibited for SC 2-Eleven vehicles in this class.
