Default MB goes racing 2016

Another new thread, hopefully it's still of interest.

2015 was a great season, although I only did 4 race weekends (due to work) I'm up at the front now and results were getting better.

This year I hope to make them all

Results last year:

Rockingham
Race 1 4th overall / 2nd in class
Race 2 4th overall / 2nd in class

Snetterton
Race 1 2nd overall / 1st in class
Race 2 8th overall / 4th in class (wet)

Brands Hatch
Race 1 3rd overall / 2nd in class
Race 2 2nd overall / 1st in class

Donington
Race 1 2nd overall / 2nd in class (fastest lap)
Race 2 2nd overall / 2nd in class

And calendar for 2016

Nope I have a filter setup coming soon. I plan to dyno them open and compare to different filters.

Awesome! Be good too see the difference the itb's make!

Any update on the weight loss?

I can't speak for everyone but I thoroughly enjoy reading/watching the development of a legit race car! Great inspiration for more than just me I'm sure!

All the best for 2016 :thumbsup:
