tanks to dave for the video

i think its a bit of both, i actually think you might need more steering angle so you can get more of an angle coming out of the corner to get the tail onto it, looks an awkward corner to get across to that cone from the angle of the camera, never been down so dont know what its actually like

if its the last cone we had to hit johno i was strugglin a bit to get to it in the wet, was moving a bit to quick i think i was, i had to hit 3rd to get a steeper angle for the front to get near it, the NA defo had advantage down there in the wet, easier to slow down and to swing into the cone,, next time out, we will hav to get the cones out sooner

no man i was 2nd into all the bends i could get third once i came around the bend at the top of the hill, you done seem to be initiating soon enough on the bend at the bottom of the hill (where the first cone was) you seem to be getting your drift after you pass the bend, if you had your drift already set up when you come to the bend you could use the throttle and more oposite lock to get the back of the car into the cone,

Iv hit this bone about 50 times i say......! Goldstone is a mad little track but fun....! Its all about linking the full track down there.....! That bottom corner starts at the top one in my eyes.....! Come out wideish on the top bend and get the power down as much as ya can then do the transition trough the s trying to clip the cone thats there with the back of the car.....! Once you get trough the s straight on the wand well before the bend....! You should be well sideways before you come to the bend and let the wand slow you down and don't scrub off too much speed thats where your going wrong....! You should barely have to touch the brakes.....! The car will take its own line from there you'l see.....! Best of luck....!
