Footage from my FTO at Ruapuna (Race track in Christchurch, NZ) Sorry a little shakey

Have a lot more footage I have to load on the computer and edit at some stage (some sideways incedents and stuff like that) but you get the idea.

Yea certainly wasn't the quickest on the day down the straight but felt the FTO more than held its own in the corners - Had spent a bit of time on a wheel alignment machine the day before which helped too - a couple degrees camber all round with the front wheels slightly toe out, rear toe in. Very predictable handling with oversteer under deceleration.

225/50 16s - altho it rubbed on the inside gaurd on full lock (thru to the canvas on one of them

)
