A 0.8 seconds gap per lap to Henning seems fine with me, a smaller gap would not speak for Henning...

Hnenings and Ramona's cars were. very very different.
The car Ramona used was far older, and the one E+Henning used was hte one built for Topi a few years back and was far quicker really. Ramona is promising, and perhaps shoudl ahve looked elsewhere, if she had looked a bit closer she would have known that car was unlikely to give her good results, it has been around for about 7 or 8 years! |

Oh, ok, I thought the older one was updated to about the same specifications...

Hard to tell from those pictures, but at the very least the Topi Saab looks to have a different suspension configuration.

If so, a 0.8 seconds gap to Henning would speak very much to her favour!
Per told the Swedish press after the split that he had spend a lot of money over the winter on Ramona's car (most money for the engine) to bring it on par with the car that Henning used. I understood also that Ramona was mostly annoyed that Per did not change things she wanted to be changed on her car. |

Caught up on the coverage at the weekend. Track was ok, not a classic but I'd have no problem with them going there again. Only grumble was the jumps, although they didn't look much the landing looked very hard. I felt the first one on the circuit was completely pointless.
Great to see Hansen win and I was really glad to see Solberg take the title. |

Just seemed at Lydden that Hening was in Topi's car and Ramona was in the older chassis, maybe they are the same?
Not sure, I dont know enough about both cars. |

Different suspension/chassis configuration at least, these pics are from 2011 but I don't think they have made any change at structural level in the cars. I miss more engine bay pics from the professional snappers...
