Does anyone know how to take Deene without grounding the front of the car??

Lotus never seemed to like it, and i'm sure my very low S won't!

Got a vid Si?

I normally take a late (wrong) line there! It's got quite a dip in it.

The correct line through Deane is a very, very late turn in and a late apex at the hairpin. The turn in point is a long way past the black line that the LOT guide refers to. This helps with the grounding problem at the front too as it means you're driving down a gentler gradient. It does however mean that you come on the power just as the suspension at the rear is at its maximum compression so the old Bookatrack R400 used to ground out there at the rear.

Most people turn in too early and assume the apex is the mid point of the corner. This actually makes the grounding problem worse.

I've got a vid somewhere but its too large to upload to u-tube and i've never worked out how to shrink it.
