you seem to have it pretty much spot on at the moment and i guess thats what racing is all about. thats why this series is good. i dont push it anywhere near enough but seeing people on very similar machinery/tyres disappear into the distance proves it can be done and i will hopefully close the gap over time.

It would make my life easier!!!

I don't want to see anyone fall off mate ... just a bit of banter.

But there's only one way you're going to master that manoeuvre, practice practice practice ...
