Training flights at Rio

Two days of 4 training flights were to be held however we only got one flight yesterday. 2 Flights today plus 2 compensation runs through the track. The Rio track is proving to be less technical than Perth so outright speed (power) is proving to be important. Our result in T4 was 11th and this determines our start order position tomorrow for the qualification rounds. Our flights were quite clean with one penalty for an early pull up but looking at our times against the other pilots (disregarding the penalty) our speed does not seem very good. We will be looking to make some engine adjustments and pilot Yoshi is studying the course again to try and find some shortcuts!


However the weather forecast is not looking very good and rain might cut the racing short. Lets hope that it doesn't and we can ge some good racing in and a good result!
