Colin, sounds like you might need to consider having some spare bodywork and other items flown out to you next week - assuming you survive the rain.

On a strategy note .... have you considered a slow start, caution on the first lap as everyone has their incidents, gain 5 places plus any you may have lost at the start, and then have a decent charge to the flag?

Plan B would be as above for the first lap then await the appearance of the leaders in your mirrors at which point your sump or cooler fixes might just happen to have a short failure and cause the faster cars some problems.

Handled expertly and with the task completed without anyone lapping you, you go on to win the race.

Just a thought.

Might upset the helpful locals of course ....

Good luck for the morrow and remember that an sudden sever vibration might be a mechanical problem but equally could just be an earthquake. If the track starts to change shape it's probably the latter. Ignore it and carry on of course.
