Default Just a bit, but with H-Sport Sways that can be reduced

Also, the car is sensitive to tire pressure on the track. If you run them too high, it will push hard.

Default Hey, that was me!

I'm just a novice track driver (I did qualify for Solo driving at the event though), and I believe the car makes it easier for me - especially in the rain. I also tried autocross for the first time and it worked really well there as well.

I was running tire pressures fairly high (41 PSI cold front, 38 rear) to avoid chunking, but I'm definitely going to drop the pressure next time to reduce understeer. Any advice on optimum pressure? I've got the stock contisport 3s right now, but I'll probably switch to RE-01Rs for the next time out. The H-Sport sways look like a good mod as well...

Default 40-41 hot on the track , which is somewhere around 32-34 cold

Make sure you don't push the car for the 1st two laps, until the tires warm up.

And to help reduce understeer put 2 to 4 lbs more air in the rear tires.

Default I know what you're getting at Steve but the RE-01R is forgiving and telegraphs enough warning...

Before breaking loose.

However that still depends on ones skills to pick up or feel these things.
