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

well done McStig...........im jealous.......

Me too!

Must have been great! Can't wait for our blat!!

still looks good mate ,and have you stopped grinning yet!!!!

Have I hell

As a matter of fact I've just bought a set of minilites and slicks.

Road driving ? Who needs road driving...

Nice pic Knockhill is on my list of circuits i have to vist.so it doesn't rain all the time there

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

You're right you know, you are miles off the apex

(lucky sod!)

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.
