"Are We Nearly There Yet?"
Published Wednesday, April 12, 2006 by Karen Phillips Racing | E-mail this post
I believe we are!
The car is now finished, bar an oil change and some extra rollcage padding. Those jobs are being done this morning, whilst the weather is supposed to be bright and clear.
The car was weighed on a public weighbridge yesterday and came out at 1040kg with a full tank of petrol, but no driver. This is good news for us as the series minimum weight including any petrol and a driver is the same 1040kg. This means we don't have to worry about running with any ballast weights and can play with our fuel load to maximise performance in the future.
For Snetterton, however, we'll play safe and start the qualifying session with a full tank and see how much is used. Then decide what to do for the first race.
