Not the fastest in the world, but certainly one of my best sessions to date!

Looking good buddy thumbs

Can I offer a little advice, hope you don't mind......

At clearways, let the car drift right out to the far left (the camber will take it that way anyway) and then bring her back across to your apex point at the Marshall point at the start of the pit wall.

And for Paddock Hill bend, hug the left across the start/finish then turn in late, the apex is extremely late on PHB.

How do you find the st on track??

Cheers buddy. Yeah my lines were a bit out - I wasn't very consistent at all really - still learning how the ST handles on track compared to the Saxo. Should be able to get it all sewn up next time I'm out.

ST was fantastic on track. Didn't feel like it was going to over or understeer at any point (bar the last lap, but I think my tyres were going off), and power steering is so underrated lol!

Mine understeered a bit on track, but only when I got on the throttle too early.
Laps seemed pretty smooth not much drama, although it's harder to tell from a video than in the car.
What suspension set up have you got btw?

Maybe remove spacers and fit rear strut & rear ARB, should make it understeer less

It wasn't really understeering at all apart from when grip was an issue (hot tyres on one session, wet for the afternoon sessions).
