Well good and bad. We won our class but it was agaiant a much slower car. We had a few technical problems with the brakes which are now solved.

The biggest problem was the turn-in oversteer we seem to have developed throught the season. we've gone from a perfectly balanced car to one that is a bit of a handfull. Tried lots of stuff, but we're now convinced it's old tyres on the rear causing the problem. so as a result we were 2 seconds off last yerars pase and 1 second off the best 1400 modprod cars.

It is good news that you won, but i supose the chalenge is to beat your previous times.

That turn in oversteer sounds just like tyres, ive just experianced that in a car ive just got.

Turn in say 40mph and the back would step out, easyly controled with a bit of oposite lock and more power, i didnt have confidence with the car though and ive had the alignment checked and apart from a slight tweak it was all ok.

Just put new tyres on ,and a slightly better make and i carnt get it to come out at all now (well if you realy push it)
