Hi Chris :-)
<div>The two spitfires up at the front all came out of the same race shop ( vintage racing services). Very well prepared cars. </div>
<div>Lime rock ( imho) takes a very specific chassis set up. Cross weight ( more weight on the RF) and lots of rebound at the rear shock. 3 corners needed to be taken flat( no lifting) to get a good lap time. I failed at that part ! Close … but not good enough.</div>
