Four of us were on the same course the next day. I was going to do a similar thread but you guys have pretty much covered it! A few things I fould out!

You can get round a high speed corner with braking better then steering round it!

18" bling made no difference either way on lap times, they do make the gearing slightly higher = less gear changes

Looking impressive is not the quickest route! Getting the approach right is!

The S can slide on the power and is controllable even in the damp with any tyre in any condition from what I saw and practised yesterday!

Nowt wrong with a bit of powersliding. And yep the tyres made less different than i thought, my car though didn't seem quite as stable as yours or grahame's though.

, especially the obligatory powerslide on the last corner on the last lap of the circuit!

I would definately recommend this course. The instructor has the best car control i have seen, in whichever of our cars he drove.

I was impressed at how controllable and stable the S was (esp once the techniques are put in to practice.) This is probably the best performance mod to an S I could think of.

I agree - I found that far easier (and effective) than just steering it around.
