Andys car felt sharp at turn in, but they soon started to feel overworked, almost like they have gone off (ie too hard) The car seemed to be pretty adjustable in the way that you could modulate the slides though, although there are several other things that may contribute to that..
Very observant of you Stu, especially in such a short time. Andy's aware that his 070 have gone off, due to their age.

In my opinion neither of the guys tyres got up to temperature, which is hardly surprising really given the short nature of the track, although having said that my lighter car got the R888's up to spec very quickly. I appreciate that these are not a direct comparison but thought it may be worth mentioning.
My car has the driver controlled centre diff which I had adjusted to varying degrees during the day. The last pax lap, with you, it was fully locked, so an even 50/50 split. I'm still learning this and although the fully open position is rear wheel biased (65/35) and more oversteery, my thoughts were that with the narrow nature of the track It would be better to have the front pulling round the corners rather than having the back hanging out. Wider tracks and in the dry, I'd have it fully open and rear biased.
I did check a couple of times and the slicks were hot to the touch, maybe 60-70 degrees pressures were raised by about 7 psi cold to hot.
