Mondello track day

I was in the same boat as ye, with the LSD exagerating the problem. A late and aggressive turn-in, and hitting the throttle a smidge before turn-in got the car pointing in the right direction quickly. This required a bit of experimenting though, as my first try resulted in a 270° rotation with pike and infield ballet. And to clarify, there was no-one within mirror sight when I was trying this.

Also, I'm not looking to propagate the banter earlier in the thread at all but feel compelled to comment on what I read(and get Topaz to put more flange up ).... if I am comfortable with the other driver, I have no problem driving in close proximity with them at a committed pace. Eamo, Ludo, IanH, B318isP, Ger, the lad in the gorgeous white E46 M3 stand out to me as they are people I can keep with, and who are compenant courteous drivers who respect the ability of those around them who share track experience and are close on track speed. Essentially I am expanding on what I interperet Eamos comment on 'dicing' to mean, and how I don't think, in the context of how I have seen Eamo drive, it is dangerous per sé, even though he spun off.

There are many other who don't go as quick as me around there, either due to limitations in car, experience, or by choice at the time. And sometimes passing can be more dicey that driving at a committed pace with those you know and love  . the biggest scare I had was last April with a car I had never met out there before and was passing. Ludo got a bigger fright behind me as he was following me through. That was the only real incident I've ever had on a track and I've driven close with people and other than that I've always seen good driving by slower drivers out there.  

In fairness to Eamo, I've always admired his car control and ability to go from úber-pace to trundling as track conditions have dictated, where others including myself have tried to push through. And Ger gave me tuition on my 2nd ever track session that knocked 6 sec off my wet pace and had me lapping as quick as race Puntos in the dry by the end of the session. Both of ye I have enormous respect for out on the track and off, and my comments here are not a cloaked effort to admonish either of you.

roll on Sunday!

@ T.J. are you around later? Better settle up for that limo oil with ya... Can make Carrigaline for arounds half 6 if that suits you?

Don't think i broke the 100mph mark at all the last day in Mondello, just about broke 95.

@B318isp: Did you brake the 100mph mark the last time in Mondello in the 318is?

Mine use to be the same before i put the M50 manifold. Nothing much happened pass 5500rpm.
