Sure was a beautifull day out there yesterday.. too bad the turbo didnt perform too well. What a joy it would have been to drive the volvo around there for 2 hours with so little traffic to worry about.

Apart from the horrid suspension setup at the moment, the engine is getting fuelcuts everytime it starts to get interesting. Methinks it might have been setup for use with the german ron100 fuels since the engine pulled great on the fuel that it came with....if the engine has a knock sensor it would probably cut back on fuel/timing.
Anyhoo.. this was pretty annoying, you can pull up to just about any car out there, and then the engine will cut out before it has even started making some real power. Another problem was that the car was bouncing and shaking so badly that I couldnt see a damn thing in the rear view mirrors.. so I had to rely on my ears to spot upcoming cars trying to pass.

Hats off too mux.. the two paxlaps I drove along with him showed some good and controlled driving. You've got the hang of the track better than I have, and the car feels like a dream to drive even in the passenger seat.
