Maybe I've just misunderstood him. It just felt like he was stamping on them. I guess I'll work on the smoothness thing first and the firmer braking will come. Definitely going to go back to Walshy next year. Might visit Lotus again too though.

The problem I had was the initial aplication was too soft and I was breaking harder as I reached the corner.. in fact the initial brake phase could be a lot harder and we worked on that for a bit, started with stamping initialy to show the difference then worked on modulation with harder initial application through the day.

For the road, (i.e. damp) I am not so comfortable with Walshy's style, but then again I am a wussy in the wet. Its just gentle and mega early all the time..... so I suppose that is modulation as well then...

oh... P.S....

You spawny spawny git.....

Great write-up, Dezzy

Sounds like an amazing experience and good memories. Do all new Lotus owners qualify for an invite?

The offer was only on for one or two months - finished in August/ September?

I missed it anyway - disappointed.
