Testing at Elkhart Lake

 Back in the Lola again at Rd America. After dialling out the toe in on the rears the car started feeling more consistent through the corners. This is a very good track, with a great flow to it. Braking into turn three is very tricky because it's initially downhill and the rears are locking, which can throw the car into a spin. There is a lot of sliding going on as well, at times it feels like a rally car. 

Season 38: GT Cup: Round 6 at Brands Hatch (32 laps)

A long race at Brands Hatch. Both myself and Tris were in Lola's, and he just seems a tick quicker. He took pole, and jumped quickly into the lead at the start. I settled in behind, and started pushing my car very hard to try and put pressure on him. I felt I could hang on in some sections of the track, but in others he seems to be pulling away. There really isn't anywhere to pass though. I guess I should have eased off a little but i was pushing 100%, and eventually had a small spin. So no real chance to win, far ahead of third place. I relaxed a bit, but then weirdly the car started acting differently if I wasn't pitching it into the corners, and that finally caught me out and caused another spin or two. So finally I ground out to the finish. Not a very good race for me, and have lost the lead in the championship back to Tris. On to Road America.
