Hmm, now I think about it, this situation occured in an MA61 did it not? And an MA61 is the most oversteer-biased car I've ever driven! How the hell did you make it understeer like that Ed? If I go into a corner too hot it's always the back end trying to overtake the front...



overcooked the entry speed to a downhill, off-camber, tightening-radius right hand corner. the front just disappeared. i tried to break the rear, and managed to do so a little bit, but ultimately just threshold broke, and parked up just next to the armaco.

the whole slo-mo moment, i was trying to a) get a bit more bite, and b) get the ass to move around a little. i managed neither.

i think that i approached the corner too shallow, and way too fast. end of story really. it was the final turn in a tight series of bends so theres not a lot of room to get the approach right. i was just going too fast...

i guess the next question, which i hinted at in the beginning, is how can you improve the set up of the suspension to raise the point at which things in the front let go?

cheers
ed
