Used the car today for the first time and after so long (7yrs) out of the hobby thought i would be just happy to go around. But even though I was being on the cautious side and driving smooth it came flooding back pretty quick and I was reasonably competitive.

I did find that the car seemed to push on corner entry and also mid corner which stopped me from properly being able to hook into the tight turns. Track was outdoor med-low grip asphalt. My question is what should I be looking to change to improve this as I am sure this was where I was losing the time.

Car is basically kit setup but with MR33 Red springs. I use 400 oil in shocks but they do have about 50% rebound?? I was using the same tyres and additive as everyone else.

I am thinking softer spring at the front and maybe rebuilding the shocks with 0 rebound might be the first thing to try??
