It's not that the OEM seats are bad, I had no issues with Robin's car. However, the bucket seats offer a better experience and more feel along with not having to use the wheel as a handle

That's because you are a fat bastard and filled the OEM seat, me on the other hand was rattling around like a dick in a shirt sleeve.

Watching the vids the input from the driver seems harsh at times, what I mean is, midway through a corner or right on the apex the throttle is depressed and I wonder if too much pressure is being applied to the throttle, a couple of times this seemed to cause the car to unsettle during the corner and then driver input was required to correct on the steering. Your braking looked good all the way through ... just that 'throttle input' in the corner, I reckon if you tempered your input there that might help with corner exit ... dunno I could be miles off ... and I am far from an expert!

Nonetheless it is a great circuit, although I noticed they made a few changes to a few of the corners since I was there, including the back straight also.

Thanks for posting !
You do know he's a professionally trained Bent(ley) driver don't you Paul?
