Had a good day on the track yesterday, ( for those that have the time)

Used some advice, shelved some ideas and ...... Done my personal best lap times yesterday and the rest of my lap times for the race was within 0.7 sec of my personal best. I am absolutely ecstatic !!! Thanks to those here on the forum. I was used to "erratic" lap times, sometimes even 2 seconds difference.

I will now start to test more of the advice and start to implement some of the ideas here presented on the forum. I did also 'learned' that my commitment thought the two faster corners is not enough, but will have to grow some b@lls !

Setup and driving style did reduce the understeer. The idea as per Cooperman to get the back to "brake away" a bit and then catch it for a faster corner exit did work for me, but not to the extend of John Rhodes !!

Thanks again. The aim is now to improve on the PB with 1 sec by the December 2012 race meeting.

PS: any more advice, ideas, concepts would be appreciated.

Sounds like you are moving in the right direction.
Now it's just adjustments and more practice.
Well done.
