After some days resting and preperation for the race, it's time to see what David can do at his first IFMAR Worlds. Because of the school we have not been here for practice and that makes it a bit difficult as alot of drivers will be fast from day 1
Today it was time for two rounds of organized practice on 15 minutes and David got into heat one with fast drivers as Savoya, Hara, Thrue, Yannick Aigion and more.
He started his practice in the first heat of the day and went out on a little bit wet and slippery track.
The most important thing was NOT to break the car on the hard track and just be smooth and finding the lines around. Lap time was not important at all.
The setup of teh car was identical to Tebos, just to have something to start with.
It was no big changed exept for the battery that we moved from the battery tray to the front beside the steering servo.
In the kit Kyosho gave all drivers, it was a really nice battery holder with it.
The first practice was okay as we saw it, and after the practice Adrien came with som tip about some smal modifications (as ususal) to get the setup more to fits Davids driving style.
With the new changes we drove a second round that was much better than the first one and we checked som mileage but he went out of fuel in the fueling lap and the car after hit him in the rear shock and the shaft was bent, but as it was only a few minutes left of the practice it was okay.
After the second practice we made some small changings at the kar to make it ready for tomorrow when the time practice/reeseding starts.
So to summrize the first day, the car looks good, important with smooth driving, the track is really hard to the cars, the track migth be much bumpier.
On this video i found one lap of his driving in the 2nd practice round ... 3:30 in to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_ag4xbG6fs
