Hi Chris,

Nice video & nice driving

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.
