Phew, thanks for your kind words.
I thought Sunday was anything but smooth.
I tried with nannies off, in sport mode, with nannies fully on, I tried aggressive, I tried gentle and smooth and all of that amounted to was a negligable 0.1 sec diff
I've actually got video of powersliding T5 (the 180° hairpin) with the nannies fully on. I had so little grip that even with the power stifled by the nannies, there was still enough to powerslide - LOL.
What did work well was using higher gears to reduce power and torque, and make throttle inputs less sensitive - like using 3rd thru the chicane and the central section.

No coilovers. It's a fun car and a daily (sometimes) for Lindy and I who enjoy just driving it, and harder suspension would spoil that. I'm going to have the struts slightly slotted. Discussed the plan with my sponsor yesterday, and they'll do it for me before the Pets event which will be a good test building up to Mich Cup at RSR.

I'm going to experiment with a variety of road-legal semis, and R888 is one that's on my list. My sponsor has also located a set of Yoko AD08's in 235/40R17 which I'm going to test too.
