Looking good Andy - looks like your getting to grips with the car well and you can see time tumbling off in the later runs!

It looks a bit twitchy mid corner, how hard is the suspension set?

Yes, I'm starting to get to grips with driving a car at over 50mph and less than a turn of lock on it! The twitchy mid-corner thing is all down to me, I think. I've been looking at the data and I'm just not fast enough on the gear changes. I'm bringing the clutch back in on turn-in, which is causing me oversteer on the entry, manifesting itself in sideways moments on the apex! I think it's years of driving FWD cars on tight courses and trying to get as much weight over the front end as possible. Clearly something I've sub-consciously learned in the past is to drag the clutch on the way in to induce oversteer. I need to beat that out of my driving now.
