Just that in certain circumstances the LSD can bite and the rear steps out unexpectedly. Great fun when you know it's gunna happen but might be a bit of a handfull initially on the track with Matt never having dríven one in anger. I'd highly recommend a skidpan day at EC on the wet skidpan to learn the LSD in safety, and it's darn good fun...I still fondly remember driving Dave's SP with a Guru LSD there! 8)

If thats still unclear....the Video where i'm chasing Red Baron at Wakefield is a classic example. Turn 9 doing about 100 in the wet. on the gas....accelerating ....whack the rear just slide away from under me. yippeeeeeee..... 8)

Nice an early CB. I should be there and will wait for your call if I am early.

I was going to bring the blue car but thought I should bring the white one for one last run before I sell it.

I received an SMS from Rodd, 5 laps in the 1:13's, with a best of 1:13.2 !!(as of lunchtime, so maybe more to come)

Pretty damned impressive times!

First time out on a dry track with the NCLE :D Had great time, 21's in the first run with a PB of 1:17:78 :shock: :shock: That was without leaving the black stuff or spinning :D :mrgreen:

Once again, I would like to thank Mike, Jan and their respective teams for the great effort in making the day run so smoothly. :D
