Motorsport manager dubai track d setup3/17/2024 In free practice 2 Simon Phillips and Pete Storey went out, with no issues in both sessions the drivers were having lots of fun. On Thursday we were at the track at 9 AM for the Drivers briefing and signing on, with free practice coming up soon the team prepped the car for the hot weather conditions, James Knight and Ken Savage had their go in free practice 1 with the new gearbox performing well. So when the optional free practice was complete the spare box was fitted ready for Thursday and plans were made to bring out a 3rd box as back up, even though the one coming out would still be okay to use. Almost immediately there was a problem with the new gear box that had been fitted just before traveling, changing down from 3rd to 2nd was causing it to jump out of gear, luckily 2nd wasn't required but if rain had come it would have been invaluable. Andy Walsh was our designated driver coach and the set up expert so with the car set up the drivers got their first chance to sit in the car and to drive it. When the afternoon came it was a chance to test the race car and get the set up right, running slicks on a std car and in these conditions was going to be a major test. Whilst the 4 drivers spent time learning the circuit Steve, Walshy and Phil gave fast rides to crew members of the Royal Navy's HMS Cumberland which was docked in Dubai. Wednesday was an early start with drivers and team members getting the opportunity to take their rental cars around the circuit.
