The toy, 306GTI trackday racer. *Dial-up warning: Picture heavy*
Race report!
Got to within 3 tenths of a second of my personal best, but there's room for improvement in the chassis setup and tire pressure. When i removed the servo i decided to dial the castor angles back to stock(ish) to make the steering a bit less heavy. Unfortunately this meant that i'm not getting enough camber while turning so the tires showed tendencies to overheat on the outside edge. Normally i'd put this down to toe-in issues but i dialed in about 4mm toe out so that should not be the problem.

Also, i forgot to check the tire pressures before leaving. Turned out i had 2,7bar on one side and 1,9 bar on the other (hot)... And nobody had a pump!

By the end of the day i got issues with the battery, turns out i need a better ground between engine and chassis, thers's a 1volt difference between the gearbox and chassis so the battery (mounted under the passenger chair) never got charged properly during the day!
