Here are a couple of laps of in car video from Knockhill during Time Attack at the weekend. This was fast enough to give me 3rd place in Club Pro.

Cheers Phil - Car is going well. Wee touch too much understeer for my liking, can be sorted out with a decent trail brake though

Kerbs are targets for me :D :mrgreen:

Nice time!! I see what you meant about the understeer. Early turn in to Clarks and you can see the front trying hard to go straight. I'm guessing the early turn in was because you knew about the understeer and had to start turning sooner to try and flick it in.

At the hairpin too there was a bit until it got grip again and then turned into the apex.

Which lap on your vids was the 54.7? I didn't time them.

You are right Donald. The early turn in was in anticipation of the understeer. I was just not quite hard enough on the trial brake to rotate the car enough on those laps.

The quickest lap of the day is not actually on the video, I always keep them to myself. Both those laps are high 54s though. I think the last one just dips into the 54.7s
