Footage of my car @ Midvale Speed Dome Superkhana
Went pretty well considering this was my first track day.
Most of the course was made up of constant left-hand turns. I wanted to push the car harder but started to get under-steer. Looked at my driver's side front tyre and the outer edge got pretty chewed. Assuming I need the camber adjusted? Keen to hear from any race enthusiasts on ways to help correct this.
I could've really done with a second camera on the speedo/tacho as the course was that tight I didn't even have time to check it, was going purely by the sound of the revs.
I was in the morning session totalling 29 cars and was expecting to come in the last 5 (considering all the better classed cars). To my surprise I came 12th!

Tearing up that tire is from understeer. Sway bars can really help with that. They can let you adjust under to oversteer. If you can stiffen up the rear roll, it will help the rear come around (be careful) and let the rear tires help turn.
Vid was cool.

Cheers guys.
I have a heavy duty sway on the front. Agreed that the rear needs more attention (not too much though 
). This being my first event I did keep DSC turned ON and felt it kick it a couple of times when the rear wanted to swing out. 90% of the problem was understeer though so happy to tighten the rear. Do they have to be adjustable sways?
19"x8.5" (245 tyres) front & 19"x9.5" rear (265 tyres).
The wider tyres on the rear could be contributing to the understeer too..?

I think it's the wide angle camera lens that's making the wheels look bigger. Just measured in on my screen and the width of the wheel is greater than the height.

If it's the little car I'm thinkin of it was da bomb! Prob the most impressive car to watch on the day. Pretty sure it had a motorbike engine in it. Will see if I can find some pics / footage to confirm.
