show at the pauses in the hillclimb competition in Sollefteå Sweden.The track was short with 4-5 bends.
We started under the bridge with 2 tight bends and after that you came out on the big lefthander which proved to be the hardest since you had to go flat out on the third gear and after that you had to take down speed and drift into the three tight second gear bends before you reached the finish line, the compition cars drove it under a minute.
The layout was really scary since it was on the public road with curbs and lampposts etc, me, Henrik "dirtrider" and Joel Yveborg drifted for about 10sweeps.
The problems came when I was stepping up the pace with thirdgear. After the big thirdgear lefthander you had to take down speed, I came to fast and smashed my wheel and front bumper in the curb, next sweep i crashed the rear bumper got smathe same spot ;)
The last corner I comming in and doing 7000rpm on the thirdgear which should be 90km/h I thought I should take it easy and take down the drift and drive straight the last 30meters before the bend but somehow the car understeers and i smash the car so badly in the curb and after that hit the guardrail I thought the car is done.
Everything in the front right wheelarch is bent and both rota wheels are destroyed I had to run on a lorry to get home.
I said to the other guys to take it easy but dirtrider wanted to make a one more time, the last bend he flipped and broke his nissan cefiro.
Anyway the season my not be over I have bought spares and repaired everything except the wheels and coilover but Raidopower.se was so nice so they are getting me a spare from Asia that is going with airmail to me.
If you are intrested to see how it looked heres a link to a picture i draw
