It's interesting to hear about other kits with a similar layout.

I think I should clarify the sensation I felt. Basically the back end feels fine under steady state (ish) conditions, so under power, it feels fine, and under braking it feels fine..... the problem (to my mind) are the transient phases. So if you accelerate, then back off, or worse still, brake, the back end feels to squirm and does not inspire confidence. Ric H and I spoke very briefly to Mark M at Llandow, and without prompting he said the redesigned rear end was born out of the unstabled feel at the rear of the car.

Whilst I only drove 140 miles yesterday, I did encounter a variety of road conditions, and the feel of the back end was largely consistent. The most obvious variable was the throttle required to initiate wheelspin.
