Love the chilled ‘non’ grip on the steering wheel!!  Good habit to be relaxed
It looks like you’re losing a lot in the first set of corners, and even more than I was through the first chicane - you were right off the throttle there, so I reckon that cost you a second or two up to Tower.
As you already said, through the Esses and Barcroft, you must have dropped a few mph with the lifts there too.  Couldn’t see your speedo in that section, so not sure how much?  I think we could both carry quite a lot more into the complex - as you say, it was very grippy turning left.  The next right-hander, not so much  
 
@KevinA - They need dumping - or warming up maybe   Still a shed load more grip than I had though  Thanks again for taking me out - it was a good learning experience.

I would say braking too early for Clervaux and not using all the kerb on the exit. Not getting the drive down the back straight on the run to Tower. You need to get up to 5th gear here. Also a poor exit from Tower and not going flat through the Esses and using all the kerb and a bit more on the exit is costing you loads of time. You should be around 110mph with only a slight lift for Barcroft. 

Thanks, exactly what was needed .

All done now, thanks all for suggestions, will write longer post, may be of some help to others

That's actually a very cleaver system!... Might have to add it to the ever evolving list of things I want 🤣🤣🤣

Thats because you're at the front, try being near the back and the chase is obvious 

I have enough problems trying to work out where the chase is!!!!  Never mind the catch part!!!

I should have kept mine hidden, everyone's got them now!

Setting trends is better than following  

No worries, Graeme, glad to be of any help at all. I have toyed with PS4's. Tomas and I have spoken about it a few times. I can't make Croft due to JAE so that only leaves Snett which I've never driven before in the 300 layout. I may revise what tyres I run for next year, but will likely wait until then. 

Seems our exit speeds were similar, as was the speed into Rocket - I was being marginally more cautious after my '3rd instead of 5th' whoopsy...  I was seriously debating getting some V105's just to see the differences, but it's a lot of money for an experiment, which I guess is exactly how you viewed the PS4's when you know the V105's so well?
Church corner was a bit of a bugger as the track wasn't properly dry there - at least it didn't feel like it to me.  I did a few experiments, the last of which clearly failed  I mostly had 4 wheel slide coming through there from just before the apex to just before the kerbing where it stopped (for me anyway).
I never got any oversteer through Seamans, no matter what I tried, but that was probably my most cautious corner on the track as it looked like it would go horribly wrong if I messed it up
Thank you so much for the info on your experiences - I do find this (perhaps sadly) very interesting indeed!

Interesting video @KevinA nice to compare against @GraemeI video. 
 

Just the VSC being too intrusive on the first right handed, it was costing me exit speed. With everything off there was no sliding for the same entry speed so the VSC was being rubbish!
Tbf I could hear it going nuts on your video as well but you were going ok, that said I still think it cost you time as I was faster with it off.

Some interesting points, Croft next so another fast circuit with I guess much the same challenges  

I think my speed on turn in was similar to yours. Exit speed was around 145kmh IIRC. I know I was pulling 186kmh before braking before Rocket. I think the tyres are making a difference here. Tomas and I agree that the PS4 are a better tyre. That is not to detract from your wins of course, but he has noticed differences at other circuits and feels that the PS4 have the advantage here. I was lifting before turning in to Church, then getting hard on the throttle, which is what I would say was causing the understeer. It was very hard to get that turn in spot on as its later than you think. I know when I got it right as I could run the kerbing on the inside, but too much speed, would mean I would go a little wide of the apex. As you know the car tends to get into a four wheel slide (inertia drift for Initial D fans) and it's hoping that the timing is right to keep the wheel relatively straight and keep the throttle mashed to the floor all the way through the exit. At times I had oversteer on the exit. It's a tricky corner to get right for sure!
Seamans, same problem, just me trying to carry too much speed, which did mean it got a bit wild on the exit at times with a whole load of oversteer on the exit. Not what you want really.

There was a lot of enthusiasm, for sure!!!

I heard you going round there on the fun runs... then again I think the whole of the circuit did  

Hahaha - snap!  I won't be able to fit until the next week probably, but I will be able to look at it  

Graeme, the best way to compare is to do a track day together. Plenty of time to get rides with others and all that really helps. To be fair, you seem to doing alright though!
I was hoping there would be a trackday before the last sprint at Snetterton as I've never driven the 300 circuit before. But alas there isn't. Other way is to organise a track day like we did at Blyton Park last year, or it can be somewhere else of course. Cadwell is always a good one. 
That is a reasonable amount of toe in. I wouldn't normally expect toe in on the front to help with turn in, particularly. A lot of people have tried toe out on the front to help the agility of turn in. I run a little less toe in on the rear than you at 6 minutes a side and my front parallel. I think the camber helps a lot with turn in on the front, I run 2.5 degrees and 1.75 degrees on the rear. I too was struggling through Church, finding that I'd get a mixture of understeer on turn in, through to some oversteer on the exit. Overall it was quite neutral though, the understeer was obviously because I was trying to carry too much speed in and didn't want to get off the throttle. Peel and Seamans were the other two corners I struggle with as a similar thing happens, and nailig the turn in to Peel is really tricky and the camber doesn't help you. Seamans is the same problem in reverse as it being downhill and the camber falling away makes it very hard to get a clean line through there without a whole load of sliding around in the middle. I often found I had oversteer on the exit, which is a pain when you've got a straight ahead of you!

I'll let you know Friday, I ordered the 10510 Right last night  

Thanks @Lauren, much appreciated, as was your feedback at Anglesey about it - thank you!

I really need to get myself to one of these! Keep seeing the pictures and every time think "that looks a bit fun" 😜

10510 is what I got which is the correct one for the driver. 

Stop bragging about all your grip @KevinA - I barely have a grip at all
Oh, wait, that's a different mental health type conversation.... Sorry.... Carry on....  

I think having the traction control on makes quite a big difference there Lauren. I had it on the first few runs and found it too frustrating on that first right hairpin, should have turned it fully off sooner. Doesn't seem to slow Graeme or Kevin down, but can't make it work with my driving. I wonder if it's to do with having higher spring rates in the rear.
