    Spring rates are pretty much the same, tyres make a difference (albeit less so due to slicks) and so does the diff. I think a trackday at somewhere like Blyton with time spent testing and tweaking would allow you to do what you want although might need to look at the rear dampers themselves. Remember also that my car was setup for my style of driving thats a little less aggressive than yours Id say.

    I was very impressed with your speed / committment through Port Froid.

    Got a text about 10 saying he had been delivered safely home by Green Flag.

    I'd love to see the recovery blokes face when he turns up and Leigh tries to blag that his starter motor 'just fell off including all wires' so can't try and restart it.

    Half a story, his extreme weight saving meant by 10am the starter motor had fallen off, after bodging it in once I recommended removing it so not to cause any further damage, so rest of the day was done by bumping it

    last race of the year for me and it was a championship race. Been a good season and topped it off with probably my best race to date.
