Nice, I really want an S2K. Did you sort out all the niggles in the end?
This is probably a stupid question but, should your tyres really be squealing like that? It's like you're turning in a little too hard or is it just the airfield surface?

I've still got a brakes overheating issue even after trying a different set. I'm going to get some cooling ducts fitted and see how that goes.
Handling now is exactly where I want it, before the rear toe was making it a little too unstable for my capabilities...
Airfield surface was absolutely brutal on tyres (NickXX will confirm!) but I was just at the absolute limit of the grip of the tyres on that surface... I'll get some of my more sideways videos up later

Same
Airfields in general are really hard on tyres.
You were being a proper wuss at the end of the runway though
I can usually get away with light braking plus dropping down a gear around the point where the surface changes from tarmac to concrete on the way into the left/right that takes you onto the edge of the runway, carry loads more speed through those corners then all the serious braking is done on the very short straight bit before you run out of road then turn in and hang on

Aware of my failings regarding the end of the runway and braking in general. I have the issue now that as I can carry so much more speed through corners that I'm arriving at braking zones much faster than before, and in honesty, my brakes can't cope so I have no confidence in them. I'm going to try ducting to front and rear brakes initially and then see what happens. The big problem is after market kits don't seem to fit under the OEM wheels.

lol @ the last bit. Overcooking it too much to get past the westfield
Unsure if you can tell in the video, but I had to keep backing off coming up to corners and although I was slightly quicker down the straights, it was never enough to overtake... Its times like that when NOS becomes sensible
