Pic from last night !!
know this is much more important to me than everyone else, but I can't resist sharing this. One of the elise guys at Knockhill last night had a
mate with him who was taking pics at the hairpin. He was kind enough to forward one to me.
I am soooooooo far off the apex it's not true, but I'm still chuffed as hell

Wot !
No opposite lock !Get back out there and try harder 
Car looks good though. I agree with you about road driving. Trackdays are just too adictive. I'm starting to shake just looking at the photo. I
need a fix

In actual fact, I got the back out on my first flying lap at that corner - I was behaving myself that time.
I certainly learnt that tyres can be much of a muchness on the road, but put them on the track and they show their true colours. Mine are rubbish.
Marshall tyres fergawdsakes - on a locost !!
13" wheels and soft tyres going on soon.

Just out of curiosity, what diameter wheels are you running at present? I ask because a lot of people are fitting 15 & even 16 inch wheels to
seven replicas, which must bugger up th eride compliance something awful, not to mention severely limiting your choice of tyres sticky enough to do a
seven justice.

QED :-)
It's on 15" wheels with 195/45x15" tyres. Not my choice at all - never would have been. I bought the car remember.
As you rightly suggest, not enough tyre compliance for a 600kg car. That plus the tyres are in a road compound to suit general street use for a saloon
car and be quiet and last thousands of miles.
That's why it's going onto 13" wheels with soft compound tyres. That will give it a more appropriate sidewall for the size of the
nature of the car. All IMHO of course.
