Maybe I will leave the 100k that I built it with in for it's first shakedown on Sunday...

The initial running we did with the car the thinner oil felt a bit better, however at Southport a couple of weeks ago when it rained and the grip went right down I could feel it making the car do strange things being so thin. I'd only ever run <100k up to that point so I thought I'd try the heaviest oil I had and it was instantly miles better, much more stable and consistent. Going thicker did slow down the low speed hairpin rotation a touch, but it was still better at this than any other car I've driven. I was worried going thicker would make it more prone to wheelies but it's actually pretty much the same as with the thinner oil which surprised me a bit.
The shock piston changes have made a big difference, the initial setup I posted for RHR had a bit too much pack for such a light car which was good on the smoother flowing RHR layout but come Kidderminster and Southport it made it a bit of a handful over the bumps.
