I think thats what the instructor was trying to tell me. iirc he said By going in on the brakes lightly there is more weight on the front wheels giving more grip. Definately gonna have some instruction next time. Going out in the 197 was great but in the 10mins i had i didnt even get used to the...
Mark:
its actually a slower corner than it looks, there doesnt seem to be as much grip as on some other corners, unless you are in a cup racer. (had a passenger ride in one) That was just silly.
As said i was trying to do what the instructor said. was missing the apex all day tho, just going...
yea i thought that when i watched the video. I wasnt doing that earlier in the day im sure. But i went out in a 197cup with an instructor who was teaching me to trail brake into the corner.
I think i was turning in early coz i was scared of running out of road.
More practice needed

Dont think ive got any footage of yours im afraid, didnt get the camera out untill mid afternoon, was having too much fun. Will have another look tho, maybe when tony was driving you may have been around.
The 'moments i had in the video were when i...
yea im about, got to pop out for a little while to pick something up but not sure when
does the offset make more camber available?
Id like to try that, another thing i have to think long and hard about, Rubber!
Im not in any rush for mine. I'll let you guys test them out.

Will have a Loooong hard think over the winter
Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Well yet again the car has done me proud at a track day. Oulton park yesterday was superb!
The spring change has made a vast improvement, so well balanced compaired to what it was.
You need to be awake tho, I had a few highspeed, sideways, back wheel...
Great day, such a nice circuit. First time id ever been there, looks totaly different on the telly. Apeared ever so narrow on the sighting laps and very tricky but once you get up to speed it has a real nice flow to it and many different corners. Some are proper quick!
Kerb hoping the first...
A guy i used to live near had a yellow new shape vw beatle and had his roof done. looked much better. Altho if i had a yellow beatle id paint the whole thing tbh
They are fine, ive just come back from Oulton park Renaultsport day and the car laps it up everytime.
Id seriously recomend doing a Renault day (will be next year now coz that was the last one)
Just make sure the car is in sound mechanical condition and that you check simple things like...
R134a they use now. R12 was the nasty stuff. Mine was already empty so dint have a problem. Would be a shame tho if u had an accident and it all escaped. ;)
1, Should have it de gassed properly really as you are not ment to vent it to atmosphere. It could already be empty tho. remove one of the black caps from the pipes and push the vlave down with a screw driver. (like a tyre valve) Watch your eyes, this will tell you if there is any gas in there...
