Least I didn't nearly bite the wall! Did you see the R32's near miss? Apparently the driver for that run was just using his mate's car!

Haha damn, I was only off by one cone though I think? :P

I think it was a gunmetal R32? Got doing some donuts after losing it mid-course I think, and nearly took it out on the wall nearest the toilets. Stopped just short of swinging the passenger rear quarter into it, then crawled off the course embarassed :lol:

Pretty much, they love skidding it up, but that S13 drifting the entire course was still managing decent times, and it was SR20DE too!

yeah that was embarrassing! :oops: my final run and a 43 sec, my best being a 35.4.

Pretty consistant under steer there. conidring the rears were spinning most of the time, you'd have thunk it would have slid out a bit more....

I think next time I will play with front / rear pressures to encourage better front end grip....

AND focus on less skids, it was hard not too when the opportunitues to be legally lighting it up were presented though!! :lol:

I had similar issues with understeer, but I should be picking up a set of Z1 Star Specs or RE-11s this weekend, so hopefully next time I'll have plenty of grip all round!
