Ahvenisto Rata-SM underway

E-mail Print PDF
The first practice day was completed yesterday at Ahvenisto. Laptimes were still cautious, as most drivers used the day for getting used to this demanding track and getting base setup in place.  The race weekend will be very busy, with many cars in all classes (most notably in the formulas, where all classes are well attended)! Unfortunately the first day already saw a dramatic accident at the end of the main straight, with a Super2000 Honda Civic Type-R crashing into a BMW - both cars very badly damaged but fortunately no one was hurt! I am happy nothing similar happened in the formulas, my logger shows max speeds of 200km/h plus into that corner, facing a wall of steel railing and a few tires...

On a positive tone though, our team completed the test day successfully, curing the old problem of corner exit understeer with a new setup. The team also wore upgraded team attire, courtesy our new partner Presco - big thanks to them for our goodlooking outfit!

Below some pictures from yesterdays tests, showing the car in its current form. Pictures courtesy Otto Hokkanen. More to follow as the race weekend moves forward...
