Had my geo set up done and went to Llandow circuit on saturday and had an awesome time. The car handles beautifully and is so easy to oversteer and re-catch..it's epic. It was a cracking day, dry from morning until early evening so made the most of it and got as much time on track as i could. There was some amazing cars there, inc. a couple of R400 superlights which are in the video below. The tyres were brilliant, grippy even when really hot. No real problems through the day apart from a locking collar coming loose from hitting the curbs, so I was completely avoiding the curbs through the bus-stop section from then on as they are quite high
I made a couple of vids. First one is pretty standard stuff..

In this one I get black flagged for having my sleeves rolled up, so I have to "report" to the control tower for a jolly good telling off..
was a decent session though and lots of cars about...some that don't like moving over, and some that love moving out of the way which is nice..

Just a couple of pics at the moment, more on the way hopefully, you can see my cheap ebay spy camera velcro'd to the front splitter on the first pic with it's lifeline...and "diving" into the bus stop on the second :lol:
Geo for this was..
-2deg camber, 0.25mm toe out per hub - front
-1.5deg camber, 0.5mm toe out per hub - rear
Tyres were Federal RSR and at 50quid a corner cheaper than R888's are the bargain of the century imo...they are nice and soft, and grippy, and don't fade when hot at all. Love them...cheap and cheerful ftw.
Also had the stoptech brake pads on as the ds3000 wore out, and they were actually pretty awesome to be fair...maybe not enough for alot of laps on a big circuit, but fine for small circuits or short sessions imo. Was quite impressed with them.
