With having very little seat time over the winter months to test the new tyres and suspension set-up, there was very little time to dial the car in. I was a little cautious to how the car was going to handle in the wet conditions on its first outing. I was right to be apprehensive as there was no rear grip what so ever on entry into the first corner, which shot me into the gravel trap. Luckily there was no damaged sustained and I drove it straight out and lined it up on the back of the queue for another run. Whilst waiting for the next run down the hill I made a few adjustments to the car to move the grip balance more to the rear. The car now seemed a lot more settled and I completed the first session feeling confident.
