Beautiful weather in Taupo today. Around 28 degrees, clear blue skies, hot and dusty. We got here early & setup in the corporate pavillion tents that were provided, chose a good spot and got straight into the finishing touches on the car.
Dale had a great run out on the track in the testing session. The car seems to be running much faster, and the Endless brakes have made a huge difference. Dale was pretty happy with the car, even though there's a number of changes needed with the suspension/springs setup and we're waiting for a new diff.
There's a few more cars running this weekend, some only for this round (obviously attracted by the chance to race in the A1GP weekend). The actual testing times and results could have been better,Dale tested 13th fastest, 3rd in his class. It looks like some of the other teams have made good improvements on their cars too.
Dales best time: 1:47.782 (to beat 1:47.148 for 1st)
We've got a 1hr 20 minute delay to the start of Qualifying this afternoon, due to track problems. I think the heat is taking its toll! :-) Looks like we won't be leaving the track early for a swim in Lake Taupo after all!
