Had another race and tune day today. Only 3 minis but one of which is one that came out of quasi retirement in prep for tcs. The store manager that used to race minis regularly came out and ran. He wanted to see where this mini was having not touched it since last year's tcs race. Was great fun but he realised he had some work to do on it. I turned my fastest lap and laps period today. But still felt the car was way too unsettled in the rear end. Found some stuff that seemed to work but also seemed way out in left field.

Anyone tried widening the rear of their car? I did today as when I tried widening the front outt only seemed to make the rear break out more. So it stood to reason trying the other way around. The results were very promising.
