Thanks SlowOne, that's very interesting to know. I've only been racing for just under a year so still lots to learn!
I'm always a little wary now of grip roll, especially after my first regional at Frodsham where the car felt great for the first 2 heats and then wanted to topple over at the same corner for the rest of the day. So by going harder on the tyres I probably made it worse. It was definitely a learning experience in judging how much the grip increases throughout the day of a big meeting. I thought I'd learnt from that for the next one at Crewe and went harder as the day went on to try to pre-empt the increasing grip and the car felt consistent throughout the day but I guess it was just luck!
I know experience will count in judging how much additive to use in combination with superglue but it's difficult to always know that you've put enough on when you've got the increasing track grip to confound things. A few times recently I've used superglue but then found I've had a little too much understeer. We'll just have to see how it goes at Sunday's regional at Morecambe and learn!
Cheers,
James
