Went racing for the first time with the mini since the national champs a couple years ago, first time i ran it since last year, i dont know what happend, but it wouldnt corner, i would turn, and the rear end would just spin round on it, if i slowed down i could roll through it and then get on the power, but it would also roll over when spinning out,

the track surface was astroturf, at an indoor sports centre, but here in nz we cant use any hopups or anything, so its basic kit m03, the only thing we can do is sway bars and bearings,

any help would be cool
cheers

It has been my experience that when this happens..your front suspension is way too soft. Your front end has more traction than your rear and so it is digging in in the turn and locking up the car.Try harder springs on the front and if you have oil filled shocks try a firmer oil.
