My usual weekend practice ride. Almost getting boring to do the same route every time in the last few months.
But... This time, the interesting part is: The section from Kenmare to Molls Gap was only 2 seconds slower when I drove Nora on the 2nd of February. Which was my best time so far in the area during night-time.
The other half of that part, from Molls Gap to Killarney was also 2 seconds slower compared to my 2nd of February time. All-together it's a 4 seconds difference. Except this time I drove Blitzen
Give or take 20 bhp disadvantage, and I don't even have a single idea how much disadvantage she had in the terms of torque. Probably a similar difference, just in Nm.

So, soon I must do another gridvid from the this years ride of this section. I'm already imagining this: The two fastest in the top half, the the slower in the bottom half.

Btw,... No saturday ride without f...n Murphy's law: Once I got home, went inside, put away the stuff from the shop where they belong...
Then went back outside to oil Blitzen's chain than cover her for the night, when I realized: her rear tyre was flat. So flat, I could push the rubber with my bare hands.
