| Happy New Year! |
| Friday, January 1, 2010 |
2009 was full of new great things getting started. Mainly I feel more accomplished as a driver after doing high speed drifting in Formula D. Having the skill to handle a car in a big drift makes my job a lot easier when it comes to pushing a fast GT racecar to its full limit. Doing that quickly reveals where the car has its weakness setupwise and the team can adjust the car so I can quickly improve laptimes. It is also easier to early discover tendencies of how balance can change over a race. 2010 should be no less fun, still a bit more administration to be done before anything can be revealed but my experience, speed and driving technique is still just getting stronger so it is all about securing a competitive platform now both for race and drift. One thing I can share though - I will do more racing in 2010 than I did in 08 and 09 which was mostly about drifting. More info soon. Happy New Year, be safe, be nice, have fun! Carl |
