Ditto again...!

I found i had to concentrate on the braking zone before the last chicane too and almost out braked myself a few times as it comes up on you that little bit quicker than it used too on the old layout.

Yeah, I was probably a good 10 meters short of the ideal braking point there most of the day. Only really got down to what I would call my correct point on the my last session but they were always frustrated by red flags late on and I didn't time any of those later laps.

Looking back through, my best lap was 1min 24.2 earlier in the day, so a 23 may have been on the cards. Should have really taken some instruction. I will next time.

had a fantastic day, nice to meet alex, rob and brett :thumbs:

have to say i was finding exactly the same as everyone else - problems with rear grip - lots of twitchy moments. had a huge tankslapper after schwantz - thought someone was letting me through but closed the door and a brake and a lift off at the same time left huge double s marks up the hill :hahaha:

wondered if it was cause my rear cups are an '03 vintage but sounds like everyone having the same probs

getting some video sorted on youtube, will post some links when get it done

Well done guys nice vid's I see what you mean the cups dont seem to be hooking up too well was it a bit cold? Not 100% sure if the new circuit is a bit quicker because the entrance to the s's before start finish now has quite a large raised curb which you dont want to be hitting where with the old circuit you could take a lot of curb and not lose as much speed. But on the new one you do get a better exit, the funny thing is even though you start from further back down the start finish I'm still breaking at the same place - the point of the chevron coming out of the pit lane. The only thing the vid lacked was a bit of disco :whistle:

Rob that rear cup size is really made for pork, with engine sat over them,
Csl is no where near as rear heavy as say a gt3

You probably need to get more heat in them and run not so much rear camber to get them working IMO

Im happy with my 9" :thumbs::gayfight:

:hahaha: I'm just sorting in-car video solutions this next few weeks. Then it's Saturday Night Fever, full blast.:smokin:

Was cold John. Probably 5-7 degrees over the day. Nice sunshine in the afternoon but didn't do much for the temps.

No issues and no rubbing with 3 degrees camber. Didn't tramline much more than normal on the road either. Front end grip was immense. The Cups hardly worn at all and completely even, so set-up appears to be spot on.

camera's on a bracket which is attached to the harness cut out on passenger seat. its held on with something like an exhaust bracket - ment for mounting on a roll cage like i had in my noble but seems to work ok as i have it set up.
