Brands accident

Looking at the data from the Brands free practice i found that the braking problem wasn't the reason i lost control. The deceleration wasn't as good as the lap before so the soft pedal must have been a small thing like overheated brakfluid or something like that. The speed at corner entry was actualy lower than the lap before so i think i must have been of the line when i lost control, think it was the dirt outside the ideal line.
The g-force when i hit the tyrewall was near 5G @ 45 mph

Car will stay in the trailer for a while, firstly i'll start working on the mk27 chassis so it can be powder coated. Then i'll have my garage ready to start on the mk20 It's going to be a long winter..

Re: Brands accident
