Geo done! At Track Developments near Castle combe.

corner weighted, dampers set up and alignment. Dave is coming down to Combe Friday with his alignment gear and see how i like and tweak accordingly. Top class service.

car weighs 551 kg with half a tank of full.  with me at 73.4kg that 625 kg a nice power to weight ratio.

learnt about ackerman, camber caster, roll centre, weight distribution (she is)52/48 etc...

Dave explains it all as he does it ! A bit of nodding when it got abit heavy but learnt alot!

all in very happy as hopefully dialled out some oversteer as the maths suggested and i felt.
