Yes, the car had bad corner entry and mid-corner understeer and big on-throttle oversteer. I wanted to take the car in a different direction, but Brian liked how the car was set up. We both compromised somewhat with the set-up that weekend and I think neither of us really liked the car we ended up with. It wasn't the way I would set the car up for myself.
I was definitley holding something back once that first BMW ran me off the road. From that point on I was pretty cautious with those crazy back of the grid guys. They just don't look. And really, if I make up 200 yards on you in less than a lap, should you really be fighting me to the death for the position?! So I was pretty cautious unless I was 100% alongside the other driver. It was the only time I could be sure they saw me!
Traffic is all about being comfortable in close quarters, learning where your faster and they are slower, intimidating the other driver into a mistake and picking the places to really try to make a pass stick.
