Good to know
You can imagine how well suited it is to Se7ens

Good footage D!
He was sliding sideways under power and then sh!t himself, jumped on the brakes and locked up.
Keeps blaming bald tyres.

I couldn't keep mine pointing in any direction let alone the right direction. With some help from Kevin D we managed to get the back end to behave a bit - was jumping from under to snap over steer.
Removeing the rear arb help to control the the snap oversteer but I was still left with fairly terminal understeer on the top part of the circuit.

The sharp left hander before going uphill was my spin-point of choice, bearing in mind it was pistlicating down all day when I was there

Right hander at the end of the pits was understeer city - like almost off the track, right hand then left hand up the hit turned into a tankslapper with autotest right foot required. Double apex at top had understeer followed by oversteer.

Long bend at the bottom was the only place the car behaved correctly - it loved that corner
