It turned out to be a skippy evening. But that didn't matter. The skippy is a funny car to drive.

race 1 was a spinner. In lap 1 i skippied the wrong way. Back on track i saw Jörn also skippied himself.
After that it was a close battle to stay on the black stuff. I think Rui and Dennis amused themselves watching our spins.
April kept it clean, with skippy's nose in the right direction. That was the winning tactic.

Race 2 was a nice battle with April, lap after lap i could only scrape of 0,1sec of the 4sec gap. In the end i skippied again.
I lost my front wing. The improvised drag reduction system and weight loss didn't help either..

The skippy supposed to be a learning car. And what did i learned: foot down, eyes closed and let the walls guide the way.

Thanks for the advice
