I've tried to put my thoughts on as comments during the race .... any comments on how I can improve the driving aswell are welcome ;)

Mine is the dark blue Schumacher Cat K1 Aero.

Nice video Chris, decent result too. well done.

My thoughts during a race.....

dont crash, dont crash, dont crash, dont crash,dont crash, dont crash, dont crash, dont crash,dont crash, dont crash, dont crash, dont crash....
awww man i crashed!!

Excellent idea and vid, I really enjoyed it :thumbsup:

Like this vid, you seem very calm and your driving reflects that.

Mine goes... how am I going to get round the first corner without running into the car in f... oh the guy behind just collected me, i'm last:thumbsup:

Hi Chris,

Nice video & nice driving :thumbsup:

The cocking of the rear wheel might be to do with your front setup being a bit soft. I had a similiar problem when I started to push my car more & found I was diving into the corner at the end of the straight with more gutso!

Stiffer spring + slightly heavier oil sorted the problem.

Good Driving and result Chris,
I read all the comments in my best Chris Pattinson accent :woot:.
Unlucky on the last lap, that pass attempt was really good

Really good video..great race and great looking track..!

great video chris
matty got a lucky start but we just couldn't find a good balance that he was happy with,matty said the same his thoughts don't crash don't crash shit I crashed

Click. The rear inner wheel was only lifting at the end of the straight from what I see. The rest of the track it looks really well balanced. You should never change setup for one corner!! You do like Chris did. Change your line/approach to the problematic corner.

Fair enough, but it is possible that making the change(s) I mentioned might allow the car to be pushed a little bit more on all parts of the track.:thumbsup:

In the video the driving style & overall handling was very good so maybe leave well alone:)

Thanks for the comments guys.
I try not to think don't crash, don't crash, don't crash, don't crash, ... it usually ends with me crashing. :woot:

I went up to 500 Core Oil in the front, and was running a front roll bar in the end, but it was still lifting at the rear. I didn't want to mess with the roll centres, as I was happy with the car on the rest of the track, so like Steve said ... I was happy to drive round that particular problem.
... I noticed on the video that Terry Streeters car was doing the same.

The K1 is drives really well at the moment, the best I've had a 4wd going for sure.

LOL
