Kenneth, thanks so much for the Atom test. Extremely fun 4 hotlaps. What a great little car. Sweet how much feedback comes through the wheel and how progressive the breakaway. Can totally understand how the car is capable of low 20s. Watched my video and am highly embarrassed with the crappy laptimes! Please keep them P & C
Will upload highlights soon hahah.
Hotlaps 1 2, and 4 were consistent, but consistently bad lol. Besides lacking skill, I blame lack of familiarity with the shifter slop, gearing gaps, speed it carries, low offset steering wheel for my stupid legs, harness way too loose even at adj limit (was moving around alot in the seat and the elastic return-cord was pulling it off shoulder constantly). The multiple mis-shifts from 5th 'down' to 5th when the target was 3rd, were especially damaging to laptime. Don't worry though.. no mis-shifts from 5th to 1st!
Looking forward to getting our own Atom and getting a few more laps in. Dead sure I can be in the low 20s with a bit more familiarization and the ergonomics sorted for my freak frame. On second thought the steering loads aren't as high as karts. It's just how far the steering ended up from me, after sliding the seat back far enough in order for legs to clear the steering wheel. Miss the car already!
Cheers
