Hi Guys,

=20

I=E2=80=99ve just found out that I had raced the last two events with =
dead dampers on the front end.

Well, I=E2=80=99ve noticed the jumping on the front but thought, maybe =
this is TR8 specific.

=20

Now I know better after I had hands on new shocks.

=20

Next race is at Dijon=E2=80=A6..there I see what is the difference to =
new shocks.

=20

=20

Cheers

Chris

I raced almost two full weekends with a broken front shock. The shaft
snapped off at the top of the shock tower so the gas pressure kept the
shaft fully extended inside the dust cover. I was had handling issues the
entire time, none of the usual trackside tweaks, like tire pressure, shock
compression (Spax, adjusted while on the car with a screw on the bottom),
check for loose bolts or alignment seemed to help. I found it when I jacked
up the car to put on rain tires and the shock was leaning inside the spring=
.

These cars keep finding new ways to break.
