thanks mate,
to begin with i did just to see how it would hold up, in the end i changed my rear to be stiffer 2 clicks and 1 click softer at the front. this seemed to make a more dramatic difference when braking into the corner and coming out. Next time i need to run my tyre pressures a bit different as per Master D - tips of the day. overall my car is very stiff minus the coilovers but was happy i could play a round a bit on the day and get tail happy if i wanted to on the last 2 laps

Did you run all you suspension (rebound/stiffness) settings as your daily? or did you stiffen it up a few clicks?

That was the one of the ones I filmed (not very well). I was trying to get you to dial up a few more revs on the launch

Did you get any photos of any of the other cars??

If you run a street tyre you are suppose to run a bit of extra PSI to keep the side wall nice and firm. Thats just what I was told

Did the softer front help you turn in better ... and the hard rear slide out more :P

track looks unsually set up, like a sprint round series track... normally 'tuning arvo's' or PDC's are set up differently

Ohhh, yeah I was just having a stab in the dark at what it could be.

But the MC MOTORSPORT calander tells me its a "driver tuning day".

It was the first time they'd run that setup for a tuning day. And they only ran it as it's a similar track to what they will be using on Sunday for the Sprint Event.

We got up to 4 cars on the track at a time, and everything went very smoothly! Bulk runs, loved it!

p.s - post up pics!

Just a recap: you guys did the tuning day... skidpan + track

A performance day is just the skidpans?
