I find that I now feel much more in touch with the front tyre, I can push more weight onto the front in corners allowing me to keep a higher mid corner speed, beforehand I felt that the front tyre was on the limit of grip and all the weight was sat back on the rear, which pushes you wide mid corner making you throttle off to pull it back in.
that's about where I'm at at the moment.
I'm still not sure why I'm so slow at the moment but I'm hoping that this will have helped. | Thats pretty extreme |
