So we are now getting somewhere.

I have over the last eight years done in excess of 20 track days in various cars - all rear drivers (Mod'd XR8 , M3 , M5) and have found the cocnsistency to enable me to better my times each time out. I have done a season of Kart racing and setup which I admit was the most rewarding. At the two sets of seven laps last week I was finding it difficult to find the "right way" to get the best out of the MCS . My first set of seven were erratic yet my second set saw each lap quicker than the first (possibly due to being pushed along by a sweet JCW S).

I am the first to agree that the tyres need to be addressed , but what then . I am happy to say I do not want the car to 'look faster' , just enable me to drive it a bit harder and see the results. Every way I prodded it , the result seemed to be the same - understeer through the corner with minimal traction on exit.

I appreciate the input from all you guys and will hopefully put some of it into practice.
