It has a whiteline rear, thats partly why it lifted, plus the soft front springs/shocks.

As Alex said, whiteline rear which is why that corner lifts, the front arb's been removed which helps with turn in but the the soft springs and shocks give loads of body roll which just emphasises the tripod action

No there's no passenger in there so that pic would've been took on the first session. It was the second session when the bumper to corner marker altercation occurred

The tyres where great, unfortunately I can't really compare them to R888s as I've never used them but the difference between the Federals and my old F1s is like night and day, held on really well, I did think they started to go off towards the end of my third session but after just watching the video back it may have been more of an unconscious decision to try and keep up with the Westfield that had just passed me rather than a tyre issue as other than one corner they seemed fine. They also gave me the confidence to hammer my brakes like I never have before and the fronts never even contemplated locking up, I did lock a rear on a few occasions but that's a usual Corsa trait even before you've ripped all the weight out of it

I don't think I could ever go on track again without something R888/A048 flavoured!
