That run was possibly my best launch, I'll have to check the VBox data in detail.
Looks like 0.3s faster over the first 100mtrs before I blew the gearshift.
Rest of the run here:

My fastest run was a PB shaving 0.1s from previous, but the 1st split time was 0.2s slower than previous.
Had trouble getting the three most critical sectors to all work together.
From the VBox data it looks like I can get the 0.4s I am looking for to close on the existing 1600cc record, if I get 1 good run together.
After blowing that run I focussed on getting off the line and into the T1 entry, but with a more conservative exit.
This gave me my best S1 time ever (by 0.01s) although looking at the data I had already eased off before the timing beacon........
So the ideal time from my existing sector times will in theory slide me under the existing record (by a full race Europa S2) if I can hang onto the thing.
This meeting was a warm up for a historic meeting next month, so I was trying to get back into the groove on this very short but technical track that offers no chance to recover from a mistake.
I can have a shot at the record unofficially then, but unfortunately officialdom has decided to reset the class to <2000cc bringing me into competition with the mother of all Group 4 Renault Alpines (1800cc, race fuel and 'more than 180HP', absolute rocket).
To give you a comparision, that car managed only 1 run yesterday as the ignition failed, even so he was 1.4s faster but crossed the line 5kph slower than me as the engine died and he was rolling the last 100mtrs or so.
