Yes very stable
It felt like the wheels wanted to stay on the ground
I could certainly feel the front of the kart working in a very different way
I found that it could really snap under braking at the end of the main straight but not at the hairpin
I definitely could have gone quicker given a couple more sessions as the kart felt great and I was still learning.
I actually noticed a couple of times where I made steering inputs that weren't needed and unsettled the kart. I think this was instictive from the slight understeer I used to get on the tony with the old tyres. There definitely wasn't an understeer issue with the new tyres on. Just to say again though, every time I went out it was like scrubbing in brand new tyres. Another driver in max said the same but they seemed to "come on" earlier.
