Looks like you lifted out of the throttle on entry? What tyres were you on? I saw you weaving at the start of the full clip...was it on slicks or something trying to get heat in to them?

yoko ad08r fronts and federal 595rsr rears.

the reason it happened was of my rear shock settings.
iv recently upped my rear springs from 392lb to 560lb. its changed how i need to setup my shocks so i was slowly ramping up the clicks after every session until i found the limit of safety really. i was expecting some rear movement at some point but maybe not that much.

lots of playing around on old springs i found an optimal of 25-27 clicks on old springs. this happend at 22 clicks. 20 was much better. i went back to 20 for last session and all was fine.

thanks. it was quite frustrating as i was cornering no more than 75% of cars capabilities most of the sessions. the power cars blighted me all day.
theres something satisfying im not gona lie about passing big bhp cars in 164bhp focus. but to do it i mostly had to do it out braking them or corners. i had to throw the rules out of the window or i would have had no joy

Cool video. In Cosnada I was going through at circa 90mph and spinning the inside rear wheel (open diff at the time) so that it was leaving a smoke trail lol.
What app was your mate using?
