So out of interest, before and after how many tenths,maybe seconds was there in the new suspension at the track?

Well to be perfectly honest I don't know. I had changed a bundle of things since my last track day so a difference in the springs is hard to fish out. I can say that the car handles much better during changes of direction particularly through the chicane & even the left/right after the start finish straight (At Collie in WA). The balance of the new car is better than the old, but there are other factors involved not just springs. The grip hasn't improved but then the tyres I was running are not getting any younger & it was bloody hot.

If I had to put a number on it it I would say maybe 2 or 3 tenths over a 51 second lap.

The advantages are that the car is much less pondorous than before. I would post a photo for a compare & contrast but whomever the blokes in the orange jackets with the long lenses were, they aren't publishing anything. Maybe after next month at Wanneroo....
