Oi, I resemble that remark 
I'm sure I balanced the car and improved the handling!!!!!! In my mind anyway.

Hello Jeff
I also took my Nephew and let him have a go, first time he had driven a RWD car so spun twice on the starting straight, session 2.
I then put him out with the instructor where he pooted around, instructor telling him to go faster which he thought meant slow down, youth of
today.
Still at least he listened to some of the instruction as it steadied him up, trouble was instead of trying to be fast and losing it he became very
slow attempting the right lines but traffic then mullered him and he became spooked by other cars.
Let him try once more after lunch and he sent us into the kitty litter stopping session 5... sorry! By that time I had enough of him scaring me as his
traffic awareness seemed pretty much zero so drove the last 3 sessions myself.
Cut some big holes in the bonnet today to get rid of the heat.... Your Phonix was one of the quicker ones without a doubt.
Regards Mark

Hi Mark
Don't worry about stopping the session, just pleased everything was OK.
That trackday is a bit of a brutal introduction to track driving, never been to a trackday before where you're allowed to overtake
everywhere...have to admit I went into race lunatic mode, if there is a gap we are through it. Your nephew was very brave to go back out at all...not
sure I would have done if I hadn't done any RWD or trackdriving before.
Phoenix was OK for a car engined heavyweight and it was only really the Busa westfield and your car that came past on merit....I have got piper cams
and verniers to go which will help a little with the power to weight (cutting down on the pies would help in that regard as well).
