AC Formula Abarth @ Adelaide 1988 - Sunday 17th May 2015

[Ashley Cowan]

Jamie's race was great. A genuine 2nd. Chris and Sun spun a lot so that consistency reaped rewards.
Josh bad luck with the...umm ...external influences.

Congrats @Jamie Pyatt !

Thanks Sun. Somewhat hollow victory but happy to have kept the FM on the track at a challenging circuit. The Tortoise triumphs !!!
Getting a bit better but it's a bloody slow process. Thanks for the guidance. Has made a big difference.
@Chris Stacey I may have finally started getting a handle on the braking technique. Still not on top of it but had the braking at peak and wasn't locking up too much.

Good to hear mate
Keep practicing with a more sensitive pedal, then you'll have more control and finesse with your braking which should bag you quite a bit of time, and it'll make the load cell last longer Win-Win.

You know what I'd do?
Increase your load cell sensitivity dial (the one on the actual brake pedal) by half of a number at the end of every week. Build it up progressively until you get to a point where you can brake hard without locking up. Obviously, you don't want to go too sensitive, so just keep increasing it until you hit the sweet spot.
