Default EP3 CTR at Donington GP

Only had 5 sessions out there due to noise issues all day.. Had to reduce throttle to 50% for nearly half the pit straight to avoid being black flagged. Apart from that managed to get some decent laps in when possible.

Had a big spin down craners at around 115mph, if you look closely on the video you can see the fresh black marks going over the kerb and into the grass

Anyway heres the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m5_V0mxSdk

And a few pictures.

Was partial cold tyres, nothing to do with lift off.

Either way, it'd be pointless making a Civic RWD

I don't want to make my Civic RWD, it was just joke in the title due to the pictures and video.

Ohhhhh.

Yeah, I had an EG I could do massive oversteer with.

But cold tyres are more dangerous than people give them credit for.

What is with the rear spring rates? I get that you want more oversteer, but i'd have looked at a smaller rear tyre size.
