Morning all,
Just a few vids from curbourough sprint day. The old girl behaved very well consider the intensity of the track.

All in all an excellent day.
Got ~16 laps in which is atleast about 2/3 events worth of runs
Got my rears spinning up out of a few of the corners which needed a bit of throttle control to eventually overcome.
Was fiddling around with the dampening on my superstreets too and seemed to be able to further dial out some under steer. The main thing that influenced this though was getting a smoother driving style, as the gtir isn`t like handling a 800kg 205!This meant not stamping on the loud pedal when hitting the apex but gradually bringing her on boost.
One of my lower ball joints is now fubar`ed (taking too much curb :lol
. My fault as i knew it was going anyway.
The ABS also seems to make some god aweful clicking noises when it tried to come on, i`m thinking of removing this as i`m sure there was still some more to come out of my brakes before it tried to rattle my leg off
In conclusion to all this, i`ve just sent off for my license :-D
Now its the decsion of notts or shenston sprint club :-o
Theres a few of my mates ignis sport on there too. Couldn`t believe how well this little thing braked on the long straight
Regards,
ollie
