Perhaps you can go drive your current MCS over the same roads between now and then for a better perspective on the changes?

Can you say if you learned more than from driving on the track? How much time did you get in the car? Things like that?

Lots more, covered many miles and the cars have been altered a little since Zandvoort (more so than just tape coming off too).

In a way I'm glad to have the time to compile my thoughts/the report as there's lots to say. Great roads too which proved a real test for the car.

If there's any aspects that you might like me to focus on in the report though, little details of information then let me know and if possible I'll include it. As you can only write so much before your brain runs out of gas, so if there's things you'd like my opinion on beyond the obvious, in terms of design, style, driving, anything, let me know.
