Testing Day 2 "Volvo versus Volvo"
it's been nip and tuck between the 2 cars all day, with the Red Saloon version taking an early lead with the ballast added, and now it's quite stable. The Estate version needed more care with the positioning of the ballast and a change of crown gear, but later on it was around 0.1sec faster than the Saloon version. Then mysteriously the time crept up and I ended the day with the Saloon version having the advantage again.
The SCX saloon version has a clear 4mm back axle width advantage, and its going to be difficult to better that with the Estate, but the estate is still 2grams lighter, so see what I can do during next week.
