I know the spoiler will give it better downforce, but is it really needed, what would happen, if you took it off ? would it go faster or would it just be undriveable, what ?

Stability in corners.

Smooth and balanced is better than fast tail happy for lap times.

Thanks mate that helps,

I always thought it was about how fast you got round, So say if the car was power sliding or drifting round the corner and then the power was put down on the straights, would this not be a fast way compared to the smooth and balanced way ?

No. If you are burning rubber you are wasting energy. This is defo a lesson time and experience gives you. Keep your head and win.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Rule number 1.

Not even close. Any loss of traction / momentum is a loss of speed. Lap times of someone sliding will always be slower than someone on the edge but not going over it.

True.
I generally find it amusing when people post videos of their track days and all you see is lots of wheel-twiddling in the foreground. I'm convinced that my best Ring lap was the one with the smallest number of steering inputs and corrections.
