First round of the season was basically learning to new setups and driving without intercooler. Water/Methanol injection worked sort of ok, but at the first run we blowed a head gasket again! No wonder, we had 2.2-2.5 kilos of boost as our missing intercooler didn't restrict the air flow anymore  . But then at the eliminations Jyrki took a 0.100 sec. red light and we lost in the first round. Time was poor 8.9 sec with only 236 km/h as Jyrki lifted not to break our 9.00 index. But he did that too...

8 second pass is quite good if you think how much went wrong in first race.
A broken lambda, blowed gasket, one missing laptop, one missing electrician, still hibernating driver, etc...

Certainly starting the year on a positive note. You could be standing around wondering what is wrong and why you couldn't go faster. This time you know exactly what happened and you can fix it! That was a nice looking launch too. Chuck
