Bazza Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Tony are you still doing the geo's on the Starlet? I got the impression from reading above that Fensport set it up? yes Tony is and it proudly wears the WIM badges the only reason than Fensport carried it out was the fact that the car was at their premises in Cambridge and that they had overhauled all the suspension for me to go up collect it, bring it back to WIM and then return it would have been a mission also the fact that it was dropped off and picked up either side of the sprint events, meant it had to be ready to go Fensport are not competition, in fact they do not generally carry out work on customers cars, their facilities are for their own cars, the work was taken on my car due to the fact I am good friends with the owner Tony had taken the settings as far as he could go, but was limited as the cars parameters were at the limit with a bit of drastic trickery the limits have been raised, and will now allow Tony to step further into the unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 well another year has quickly passed 2011 was another year with the Toyota Sprint Series the only improvement/enhancement was that the "Tart" now runs on racing fuel, allowing for less retardation and detonation, with a slight increase of power as well only downside is its about £4.50 per litre and the Tart runs about 3-5 mpg ! as the saying goes "dont fix what aint broke" results of the years racing as follows: round 1 : Rockingham 1st place in class B hard charger award overall 9th position round 2 : Woodbridge 1st place in class B overall 8th position round 3 : Barkston Heath 2nd place in class B overall 14th position round 4 : Cottesmore 1st place in class B overall 5th position round 5 : Croft 1st place in class B overall 8th position round 6 : Blyton 1st place in class B hard charger award overall 3rd place (behind Jonny Milner and Adrian Smith in their 800hp monsters) And on the complete series : overall 4th position so as you can see it was a fantastic season sadly this year I am only doing a few select rounds due to having to have an operation at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Absolutely stonking season Your driving confidence must have gone through the roof, i mean year on year your gaining better results with little real change to the cat, you need to pat yourself on the back. thank you I do believe that you have to look at the car and the driver, you can have a good driver and a not so good car, and you can have a good car and a not so good driver, strangely they can both produce the same results ! I have always thought that I had a good car, slowly the car is giving me the confidence to become a better driver the car has performed faultlessly the past year, no spins, no "off" moments and thankfully no breakdowns, not bad for a 16 year old car running over twice the power it was designed for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think the way you evolved the car over time and yourself alongside was spot on, for example i couldn't drive your car, it's to reactive, light, fast and so on plus i don't have the skill you evolved....
