Default UK Track pictures and a plate diff Q

Hi guys,

Few pictures from my trackday at Donnington, this was very much a learning curve as i've done alot to the chassis and handling and didn't know how it would perform. Also need to get used to running a plate diff as when you turn in with the brakes on like i'm used to the diff locks a fair bit so it's difficult to get that initial purchase you need to get the front in. All mostly down to my driving rather than the car which performed flawlessly throughout the day.

The -3 front camber seems to be perfect as under heavy cornering the tyre looks pretty flat to the road so i'm happy with that.

My question is in regards to the plate diff, on slow corners i'm getting alot of understeer as i trail the brake upto the apex, is usual with a plate diff and can i prevent it by changing my driving style?

GEO is:

-3 camber
0.5mm per side toe out front
2 degree caster

-2 camber
0 toe rear

Next up are some AP racing/Stoptech/Tarox 4/6 pot brakes in time for Oulton, may try and do another day before then too

Heres the pictures anyway.

What diff? 1.5 way is not needed in a fwd car and just adds/causes entry understeer.
