Well said Marlin. It was a fantastic effort on mark's part to pull that 1.34 out of the bag after all the hassles and problems and limited track time they had during friday and saturday.
I have no doubt they can pull another second or so by fine tuning the setup but to reach the dizzy heights of our imported friendsI think the real answer lies in weight and rubber. As russ said, If we cant get it closer to 1000 kilo we cant catch them.. Ever!
The rubber Mark is using is beyond reproach, time and again he has done some amazing things on those skinny bloody pushbike tyres. My first visit to the pits was specifically to see what the imports were using, sure enough, They all had 20 litre drums rolling under their cars.
I bet Mark cant wait for the advans to come in some more suitable widths.
