I need to learn some more about correct tyre pressures etc, wouldnt mind some better pads and rotors, then go a little deaper in the braking. I think there is some more in the car for better handling, power is about correct for both tracks. But i am enjoying it.

Just an update on the above, i did a John Bowe High Performance day today our at Symmons. My best lap time around Symmons is now a 1:05.94 with consistant laps in the 1:06 even to 1:06.54 was the worst.
Quite happy with the day, Terry Bowe drove the car and was full of nothing but praise and couldnt believe that it still had stock suspension and factory brembo pads and rotors. I now have a decision on if to change out some parts and continue on with this car, or try and save for a track car. All i know is the bug has definately bitten me again!

And the all important video. This one is from my last timed session of the day.

That's a great time, very good driving. Updated your earlier post.

My Wakefield time needs to be updated; 1:10.1 which is 1.7 off my PB.

Took the car to east coast suspensions and had the car corner balanced. After that it was aligned with a little more agressive negative camber in the front and rear, I think rear is now at -1 and the front, after some insider secrets and know how, is now at -3.5.

So, the car is 100% more stable at higher speeds, particularly at the fish hook and the higher speed corners.

Also added to that, the rear sway bar softened and the R888's on the rear replaced with RE55S's, which aided with rear grip.

Add to that, more experience, my balls are getting more brass like at the braking zones, and I'm underatanding how important weight transfer is at the intervals of the corners (entry, apex, exit).

It all adds up.

That's very good info there, Gab, thanks. Amazing what a few changes can do but, that time is really honking... well done.
