Reply With Quoteyeah i definately know what you mean...i found in the early stages the back kept wanting to come round on me and i was on 3-wheels around both the bottom hairpin coming onto the straight and the hairpin at the stop of the straight, and this is with both rear stress and sway-bars. but after dropping the tyre pressures and learning the best way to drive the track the car improved a lot...i think for marulan early and hard braking before the corners is the main thing and then you have to power through understeer...i felt as though if you backed off the throttle though the corners, especially through the quick s-bend coming out of the hills the car would get unsettled...i got some in-car footage to upload which was near the end of the day when my lines were getting pretty goodOriginally Posted by mikinoz
That is pretty cool.
How did you find the rear when braking into the bottom hairpin? I had massive passenger rear locking as the weight shifted and the wheel lifted off the ground...
The track is actually well suited to the MK1 to be honest. I found that not having a rear sway bar on but not a front sway bar fitted was a real pain, as with all of the fast direction changes it was difficult to get the car to release from the previous corner. Also short shifting across the top of the hill before the crest we found sets the balance better.
The Green 16V with full interior on 15" Kumho KU31's we did just on 100 laps (with no mechanical issues unlike the Japs) and consistantly hit low 49's (49.2/3/4) so agree there is more in it for you with a dry track and some better rubber.
Maybe once I have the weiß one built we can go down for a boogie!
Really nice to see it on the track!
we definately have to go for a run when you get the white mk1 on the road for sure!
