It was my first time driving a cossy on track so I had a lot to learn,

Sadly with only a few sessions on track I couldn't quite get to grip with the car fully but I didn't do too bad.

Driving something with big power and rwd wasn't as bad as I thought but trying to actually get the power down was the big issue.

I was worried that too much right foot through the longer corners would result in a spin but tbh that side of things was easily sorted with a small amount of opposite lock, turn in amazed me as last time I drove a sierra it was a 1.8 and they must have really crap steering as hardly any turn on the wheel was needed to get round most bends in the 3 door .

I think the car needed a better suspension setup as there was a lot of body roll which caused half of my difficulties, my nova was rock hard and had no roll in the bends which was something the 3 door just couldn't do.

Hopefully my mk2 will have zero body roll so I expect I will learn a lot quicker once that is done.

All in all my first go at rwd was great and only span once from just pushing a tiny bit hard and lifting off, Some tuition from the owner would of helped but he wouldn't get in his car with me
