yea of little faith - no outside assistance required, was purely down to 'bad' driving...

I LIKE driving badly - makes for good photos too!
But this raises a bit of a mystery for me - why does my car understeer on race tyres (205/55 14 Toyo RA1 on 14x6.5 twinspark wheels EP+30) but is nicely balanced on my road tyres (205/45 17 Michelin pilot preceda pp2 on 17x7.5 wheels ep+35)?

And when I mean understeer, it is anything from a subtle widening of the line under power to a complete front end loss where you can wind the wheel around and NOTHING happens

depending on how restrained I am on the throttle after turn-in.
Obviously the road tyres are a lot slower than the race tyres (couple of seconds a lap on a 2km circuit, which is an eternity), but the car is soo much nicer to drive on the road tyres, that I'm beyond caring about the time lost.
Its like driving on a slightly greasy track and the car can be drifted around and is really responsive to wheel and throttle - unlike the race tyres which grip and grip and then just stop turning and then I'm running wide, missing apexes, having to get out of the throttle and getting angry (understeer is evil

)
Anyway, if anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears (well, given this is a written medium, all eyes
