This year it was the first drift event for me in my drift car, and i was not able to test it before. I knew it will take some time to get used to the new gear ratios, but i didnt expect to have more problems.
The day before qualifying i had no handbrake and a stuck rear brake calipper. Luckily i managed to repair it in time, just to find out that my boost sensor is doing some strange things and it felt like i was missing about 100bhp. Not enough even the clutch started slipping in 4th gear after a hard clutch kick. The electrical problems could be solved with my mates Laptop.
All these little bugs became 1 big, and was out of training. qualyfied 19th out of 72. NOT statisfying to me.
here is a short video of some entrys i practiced:
VIDEO: practice run
pushing harder and harder and then too hard :) went a bit off the track and had a small impact.
the next day we had some Demo runs and some hours of practice. I was so happy to get proper track time, and the only reason why i left the car in slightly over 2 hours, was because i had to change the tires. Lots of practice laps later and i felt comfortable again.
