As a rule, reducing caster will reduce the wheel loading during the latter part of a turn - i.e. it will release the turn earlier.

It will also sharpen the initial response to any steering input.

@Billy - Appreciate that your TC habits may take a while to soften but you will find that the 22 will reward a smoother driving style - mashing the throttle hard may feel quick but rarely is.
The key (that I have found anyway) with the 22 is to drive with a smooth style that maintains high corner speeds.

If you treat the throttle like a binary switch, it will bite you but the set up that Chris Delves has worked on has provided him with a wider window in which he can safely attack.

The 22 is highly reactive to small changes - and it will feedback to you what each change does - so take your time to figure out what suits your style.

And if you're down at Maritime - come and find us and feel free to ask for any advice / hints / tips that you want. Remember though - what works for one may not always work for others but advice is freely given and you're welcome to use it if you see fit.

Good luck and let us know how you get on :-)
