And that other photo I mentioned where I was doing it “right?” Yeah, the picture is boring. [😴]

With this car it always lifts the inside right rear. Maybe at an idle it wouldn't.

I have a photo like that of my Spitfire at the Solo Nationals. One of my favorites because it is an exciting photo of what we do. However, it also illustrates doing it wrong be cause the reason I got that wheel-up attitude was I came into the corner too hot, braked too late and tried to do the turn at the same time. I have another photo of the same corner, different run, and the car is flat, all four wheels on the ground, and I’m accelerating out of the corner (and the run was a good 3 sec faster). 😃

Another Photographer got this shot.



I wish it was flat, that way I could easily slide/drift through a corner. But you have to learn to drive around what you have. It is a pretty fine edge to corner hard so as to not go from a bit of understeer to snap oversteer. I may isolate an example of video of that fine edge and snap oversteer in that corner.  We did mount a camera for one session focusing on an inside rear wheel. I'll add that to that bit of video too.
