I remember now you saying it was damp/wet. I couldn't really see it on video. I'm glad you liked the Glen. It's a fun track and if you like your racing history, it's certainly even more exciting to think of all the legends that have raced there.

While my car is completely different then yours, I enjoyed the Glen this year for the first time with my new suspension. As you mention the importance of turn one, I was finally able to take T1 in 4th, and go to fifth at or after the cross over to the left in the esses. I was now picking up 8-10 mph (as my speedo indicated..) more speed by the bust stop then before the mods, and this was with a passenger in the car. Clearly getting T1 right is key to a good lap at the Glen.
