    awesome Steve, out of interest, that much talked about steering feel Is it really any different to the S2?

        Strangely enough it has very different feel on the steering something I will have to get use to but handles unbelievably well , was throwing it about yesterday on the corners and held no problem

          interesting... can you describe how it feels compared to the S2? More feedback? Heavier weight?

            They do handle well just dont lift off mid corner, if your carrying to much speed bring it back on line with a dab of the old left foot.... but not a stab or for a few seconds you will feel like Walter Rohll..

              What is the cause/reason for the handling differences between the UR and the s2 (coupe)?

              Weight and stiffness? Or is there more?

                Good tips ..think I will try both tricks as the Walter Rohll way sounds like fun ...much lighter car, so more feel of the road and more responsive through the steering I found

                  well the RR must have reasonably similar similar weight over the front axle to the 3B and steering geometry is the same. I suspect the steering rack has less assistance and differnt rotary valve set-up. UR shell is stiffer though with rear bulkhead, and it is 100kg lighter car I suppose

                  Glad to hear you're enjoying it Steve, all teh effort has been worthwhile
