well folks we just came back from a new day of practice and we did a whole bunch of things and the car now runs better, we gain 0,5 seconds on a 10 degC hotter day.
we started by trying some toe out in the rear and immediatly the driver said the car felt better. We than tried to put the stiffer springs in the back and it helped also a little bit but the best mod ended up being the the toe out. We lacked some time at the end of the day but we might reduce the toe out a little next time to see how much it slows us in the sraight lines but at least now the car turns better.
About the lifted wheel, we finally realised that the picture was taken at a place on track where there is literally a jump, we don't see it much with our low grip tires but the CTCC which runs in Continental slicks, the Minis completly lift off all 4 wheels at this place so this was the reason of the lifted wheel.
We also used some really old tires with lots of heat cycle (wanted to finish them during a practice) so we are confident the car is going to be faster for our next event on a track that also has a lot of thight curves and hairpins.
thanks everyone for your feedback.
