I like the fact that every corner is actually three straight sections connected by opposite lock turns ;-)

Was it understeering into the second half of the Fosters chicane? Looked like you were pushing it into understeer, then getting more than typical oversteer on lifting off to get the nose to turn - or is that just camera angles?

It definitely looks edgy :-)

Cheers,
Robin

I think, if you watch that video carefully in slow motion, there is a moment, about half way through, when all 4 wheels are pointing in the same direction... just briefly :lol:

Actually getting it stopped in to Fosters after the straight on the down hill was bloody hard work. It was way to easy to lock up and I kept trying to match the 211's braking points, which wasnt helping.

Due to the poke of this thing its pretty easy to invoke understeer if you find some traction at the rear. An all out battle, but magic fun.
