Second Attempt At Rissington

Today I returned to Rissington for another attempt at the race meeting! The conditions today were not one that I particularly enjoyed - it was raining! (Below is a picture of me on the practise grid!)

The rain hit us at about 13:30 - and as I'm sure most people heard me complain on several occasions, Tyro's do not perform well in the rain! I will discuss the reasons for this in a follow-up entry after this race week-end is over!

Obviously in the rain, lap times in general are slightly slower as braking distances increase due to the different surfaces. However, it shows that I must have improved somehow as my times where identical to last time and the conditions were very different! However as the rain got heavier the time significantly increased again as the Tyro does not handle water well at all.

However, all is not bad! I have a new item to add to my collection, I bought some new Sparco racing gloves which I really like and should last a while as they are a bit big on me.
