Prep for Brands Test

So in light of the upcoming test day at Brands (getting excited now :) ) I think I have a few things to do before we head out.
Here is the compiled to do list.
The major two items for the test itself of course is to learn the track, get used to the new padde shift and beat the times of Paul of course!

Here is a picture of the padde shift installed and the temporary dash and no comments about the loose wires behind or the mirrors pointing in all directions! You might also be able to spot the new FIA approved roll cage padding. Boy is that hard, lets hope it gives correctly in a large crash as it feels about the same density as the metal roll cage.
I had another go at bringing the car on and off the trailer to do some items under the car yesterday and I am now much more comfortable with the new clutch arrangement and finding Neutral with the paddles.
