I really didn't expect to reach the final Andy, I was expecting much more from Steven and Terry's cars.
The car is so heavy as it is laden with dynamat, mdf, speakers, amplifiers and my fat gut

Zak, i think a lot of people "expected" more from mine and terry's car, but it's what happens on the dya that counts.
My own car was simply not ready, simple as that, at best 80% ready, but probably nearly 70% capacity. This became instantly apparant in the warm up, when i couldnt keep up with Mike down the back straight, yet he was holding me at times through the corners.
My trap speeds were a good 10mph down on last year, but with only 1.6bar and 5 degrees of timing removed, i was expecting that.
I began to improve in 1st practice, due to tyre pressure changes but still lacked the grunt i had last year. I was 4 seconds quicker than last year through the twisty bit, yet 1 second slower on the straight bit. I know i had more to come in the qualifying.
However, i then got to the bottom of pit lane and the brake pedal hit the floor, so trundled round and back to pits and had the brakes bled, this meant i didnt have time to scrubb the new tyres in and check the pressures, so had to do the best i could, sadly a 1.23 wasnt good enough to qualify!
However, i am utterly upbeat, because the car is still in one piece, and i know it has more potential, as do i.
