First event of the year in the Stylus with minimal road testing to shakedown beforehand and I am absolutely staggered - 4th out of 34 drivers. Beaten by two drivers in a very sorted 750MC Locost used for circuit racing with a 1.3 Crossflow and a bog standard mk2 MX-5 with a phenomenal drifty driver.

Following the change to a 2.9 steering rack with Rob's toe in setting and softer springs the car is much more compliant and turns in fantastically. In fact, it got a bit of praise from the guys who came 2nd and 3rd ahead of me in the fully sorted 750MC Locost. I felt quite rusty but posted consistently quick times, so we'll see how the rest of the season pans out. Benefited from it being a 1st gear only course - the gearbox is a bit notchy going from 2nd to 1st so any advice on how to make a Type 9 easier in that respect is welcomed.
One slight hiccup when then headlight unit decided to fall off - I promptly ran it over and it snapped a mount off the dip beam unit in the process. Fortunately the spade connectors parted and the loom was left unscathed. I've got 2 weeks to find a replacement and get the car MOT'd before the next event. Not sure how it happened - had wondered if the slightly lower ride height from the softer springs had caused some rub but I don't see how it can have as they're well out of the way. The marshall nearby said he was sure a clip came off when I hit a dip/bump just before the light unit fell out, so perhaps old brittle plastic gave up from being shaken around.
Great day overall though.
