Genuinely do not know how these sort of hybrids and EVs are set to kill our beloved dinosaurs. Such a lie the average motorist is being sold at the moment with lithium based power in terms of over all carbon footprint over whole of life. Very sad and all to the benefit of competing single party governments...Our leaders in West literally clueless. Not to mention these EVs and hybrids so average to drive.
Back on topic legend for using a 599 like this! I find the back end so twitchy on these I would not dare

As for EVs saving the world I think they're sadly mistaken but you have to start somewhere.
As for the donkey's arse, definitely deserves watching.
I was reading this thread and it has made me wonder about my own risk acceptance, especially as I do lean on the CST and have experienced some of the things mentioned

Nordschleife is not a place to turn the CST off and see what happens. I have at Millbrook and Drift.de but you've lots of room for when it goes wrong. And it goes wrong for me a lot.

I also had Gearbox issues a while ago, Simon was great at SS, my old garage less so but thats resolving itself in court on the 15th July.
When it comes to the F1 system, Simon at https://www.ssautotech.co.uk/ is absolutely the bestHughesie said:
Also had some suspension work done at Centre Gravity which has totally transformed the car from trying to kill me to being a pleasure to drive now but only went with -1deg of camber on the from

They made some shims and this is how it ended up, a bit more neutral at the rear

I also highly rate Centre Gravity and my first choice.What it started like

My camber a little more extreme @ 1.8deg because of the track use. I'm thinking of getting some custom shims made to go 2.1deg camber.
I've also gone for a more stable and predictable rear but again more at 2.5deg for track work.
The 599 is a big car, long wheelbase, front engine, she needs some help to rotate in the corner but not too much. When she goes the transition from grip to slip is very fast and occasionally surprising. Which can be a little scary at times.
Suspension brushes are turning out to be a more than annual replacement
