The camera mount was a little loose so the picture jumps around a little, but its watchable.

The clip is~ 2 minutes long
- it may take around 80 minutes to download that 10MB so its something to leave running whilst you do something else.
If there's enough demand, I'll do some lower-quality video clips which should be around half that size.
From what I heard from Dale you weren't slow, and your tires were looking well worn by the end of the day

If you haven't already guessed that what i have to do in the NA as it hasn't got the power to push the rear end out on the exit, so i lift off get opposite lock on then get my foot down to balance it through the corner.

Ta Lauren, I'll give that a go at the next trackday.If I can twist your arm to passenger and give me some feedback that would be good
- I'm not sure I could book Howard for sessions on improving my goonage

I did find the Roadster would lift-off oversteer like my Mk1 though, especially in the longer faster corners- it was quite interesting driving the two back to back.

I noticed something interesting though, I didn't once here the rev limiter kick in whereas on my own mk3 MR-S turbo I'm forever hitting the rev limit!
I think the majority of that(and I'm sure you can relate to this) is down to the fact stepping from a mk2 Turbo with long gears that seem to go on forever to the mk3 with it's much shorted gears that seem to bang through quite nicely albeit quickly, takes some getting used to.
I'd of thought at Elvington you'd be hitting the rev limit quite often, or did you?

Lauren wrote:Ben i think considering that you goon pretty well on teh exit you'll have no probs once you get it going on turn-in.Once you get the hang of it you'll then have the confidence to turn-in way early with lift-off oversteer and allow a very long goon indeed.
remember in my car i can't really goon that much on the exit i have to rely on momentum of the rear end to carry the goon through the corner and out the other side.
With the power of your car you'll be able to hold it for longer.

Hey Rowland! I've been meaning to drop you a line to see how you're getting on with the SMT Turbo'd Roadster- what did you do about fueling/timing in the end for it
- did you go the Greddy eManage
/ Profec route, or Unichip? You had it on the Rolling Road yet? I need to chat to you about a few things
As you've probably noticed I've got a fairly relaxed attitude to driving the Roadster on track- I don't need to try to wring every last rev out of the engine as the turbo has so much torque you don't need to.

In general don't tend to ever hit the rev limiter- exploring the 6-7k rpms band can be fun as the car is very very rapid up there.

Gearing- well, to be honest, I didn't notice that much of a difference between the Mk2 Turbo and the Roadster.
What I do have to watch out for is that I'm used to short shifting from 4th to 6th once I've joined dual carridgeway in the Roadster
- you can't do that in the Mk1
.

as reverse is where 6th is in the Roadster

Any suggestions for tunes to set it all to? Virtigo by U2 is what I'm currently thinking- I'm not a big U2 fan, but its a good tune for trackday footage
