I ended up driving it like my b4- which makes you realise just how different this car is. I was really throwing it into the corners to get it to turn, which you just didnt need to do - the result was getting hung up on the same pipes about 4 times, really frustrating since the car would turn much much better than the B4.
The best bit was powering out of the corners, I could drift the car around without the back end being uncontrolable, I think the car just needs a different technique going into the corners.
So, sorry to Dan for not using his car more, but many thanks for the opportunity and I'll look forward to building mine up asap to see how it goes.
Ah well, not to worry, glad the car went well though. Did it stay dry (my car)???

Actually can I get it off you sometime soon. I've not seen it for a month now and have some things I want to try before I run it next.

I saw someone else ran an X6 at the F3's. Who was it and how did they do?

There were a few mate! Thumbs was there and i think might have been helping the X6 boys out. He was raving about them.

I was doing same lap times as my B4 - but I know it was quicker, I was just making mistakes on every lap turning in too early. There was definately enough drive there and the steering and cornering were great. Stayed dry no worries..

I should be going to the consortium meeting on wednesday, not goin are you ?
Where abouts do ya live ?

X6

Paul Knight, not sureb who it is, Welsh lad I assume. Car looked good, looked very positive to drive. If it were me I'd have been running more worn tyres on it (but then I ain't got anything else).
