looks like it will be a fun day, be nice to see some video of your car out on track.

Oh I just edited your post to add a link to the pic, is it pointing to the correct place?

Yes the exhaust valve was open. The engine was screaming and I didn't push it more than 1.25 bar boost. It was a really funny weekend

Looks like you had a good time in the sun. Did the car behave itself, and was there anything there faster than you?

Actually there were a lot of "monsters" there specially the Integrale club. It was my first time in the track with coilovers, front semi slick (mistake that in the rear axel I had simple tyres) and a good engine. The car was thirsty for a lower lap time but the driver (me) still learning the track.

What was the handling like then? Given that the car likes to under-steer quite a lot I can see that there might be benefits to actually having grippier tyres at the front.

After the first 3 rounds in the track, the rear simple tyres couldn't handle the car even in accelerator with 3rd gear. As the rear tyres were ok I hadn't understeer or oversteer even on brakes while I was steering. When I push a bit harder the brakes with over 80-100 km in a sharp turn then the back wanted to rive from the road
