Remarks – Fresh from his win at the 2014 TITC in Thailand, Ronald Volker has been testing in Gran Canaria for a few days and has made some changes to his race winning setup from last week. Running softer shock oil and anti-roll bars, he also tried the car without ARBs, he has also reduced his rear droop to help the car in the low traction conditions. Also moving the chassis position 1mm to the rear, changing the weight distribution, by using spacers on the cars A-arms he along with everyone here has also been working hard trying to find the perfect tire prep. An interesting decision Ronald has made is to charge his battery to 8 volts, which while it reduces top speed he feels it will help him in the early part of the run reducing the power in the low traction conditions.
