[quote][i]Originally posted by Whitemouse[/i] I agree with Fola about the performance advantages of the MC12, not that it mattered a lot for us. We managed to screw up all by ourself, or almost, by choosing the wrong setup/chassis in the M-Racing Agon EvoI, we should have raced the M-Racing C1 Evo instead. Some of the reason was that what seemed to be good grip on friday night turned into ice by saturday qualifying. I suspect this was due to the constant wiping of the track with the magnetic "Swiffer" that the Oslo dudes used. This of course ruined the grip levels. We did, on new Procomp 3 untampered with rubber, constant 6.0 times in lanes 3, 4, 5 and 6 and 6.1s in 1 and 2 during friday practise. Yet could not get below 6.38 come qualifying. During the race we lost about 20 laps to essential setup changes that had to be done during our first stint, to make the car a little more driveable. But still, the car was a handfull, because we had opted for the wrong chassis/setup. But, and this is what really is a shame, I saw three different teams use tire additive/grip enhancer or whatever you want to call it. The stuff was applied during lane changes by a team mate or during servicing. Unacceptable or?? We would probably not have ended our race very much higher in the result, due to our setup screw-up. But it still fails to impress me what some teams will do. As Fola I will never ever enter a MC12, but thats just me beeing me. On the other hand I am not sure that reducing the spur to 85 mm will matter much, but I could be wrong. I fully understand that the MC12 boys are annoyed by the sudden weight penalty beeing given to them, and maybe the right sollution here would be to give the Corvettes and Astons an even bigger weight reduction in condjunction with the reduction of the spur of the MC12. This could be done via the weight calculator, keeping the data for the MC12 but changing the Corvs and Astons - just a thought. Anyway, WMR and WMR Jr. had a very enjoyable time with some great fighting during the race. OK, we would have liked to be further up the field, and work is allready in the process to obtain that goal for the next race, but thank you to the organisers, Glenn, Børge, Tamar et al, and everyone else who raced for a good show.
