Toast-tastic

Another mixed bag tonight, had some reasonable moments and the odd clean lap but still nowhere near the level I feel I used to be. Had some driveshaft woes in rounds two and three which fortunately didn't drag me down into a lower final due to the fact there was only one touring car heat. However it's a problem, and unfortunately the only apparent solution involves spending frankly ridiculous amounts of money on the ECS style driveshafts. I may succumb but I'd rather keep the money in my wallet for other things.

Andy kindly spent some time on my car trying to calm it down for me as I've been struggling with the relatively aggressive standard setup I was previously running following my return to regular-ish racing. Despite the limited trial time I got with it afterwards, no thanks to my front left driveshaft, it did feel a lot better and a more stable base from which to regain my confidence - so thank you Andy.



To be honest it's a bit of a vicious circle I'm finding myself in currently, I'm not enjoying racing massively as I get frustrated because I'm not as good as I was this time last year, however I know the only way to get back to that level is to spend some time working on the car regularly and getting as much practice in as possible - however the fact I'm not enjoying any of it at present means my motivation to do the work needed to get back to where I want to be, is minimal at best. Ho-hum.
