Too close for comfort this time. Tell me where I went wrong I'd be interested to know.

I think it could be at least partly because of that, as I said the track seems bumpy as far as I can tell from your video, so a stiffer suspension is not necessarily a good idea in my own non expert opinion.chris.t wrote:I had stiffened the suspension before this session.
You mean into the boot? Not too sure about that. Maybe a little since it would have had added some rotational inertia and added some traction on the rear end but on the other hand the whole point of a mid engine car is to reduce the rotational inertia so that it spins faster when you want to turn ... or correct an oversteer.chris.t wrote:Someone has suggested that this wouldn't have happened with a load.

Yes Scott it's running well. It really is a dedicated track car which it does very well. Taking it up to the lake district camping, definitely not, there's only one car for that!

chris.t wrote:Thanks for all your replies. Things you should also know. I had stiffened the suspension before this session. The spin came after about 7 laps of hard driving. I have compared line and engine note and all laps are very similar although I think I was getting faster with every lap. The rear tyres are now shot, left more so than right.

Interesting re LSd but the vx is rwd and may well react differently.
