At the age of 40, I decided to go motor racing - The ultimate mid life crisis.

Hotter than a Hot Thing!

Today was round 4 of the Crail summer endurance series, and like that last 2-3 weeks, it was hot. We did our first test of the season yesterday, and struggled a bit to be competitive - When it's cold/wet or a combination of both, we have got our setup sorted. However,in the hotter weater we struggle and an air temp of 24 degrees today, caused us real problems. Over the course of the day, we reduced our tyre presures by nearly 10psi, and still couldn't keep pace with the front 3, who were XLB, Milwalk and MBM. (XLB won all 3 races) Finishes of 5th, 4th and 5th, gave us 4th place overall, but in each of the 3 races, we were at least 0.5 seconds off of the pace. But this is Scotland, and we're confident that we wont get too many weekends as hot as this one :-)

We're still leading the championship, having lost 7 points to Milwalk, so it's all to race for.
