Nice. Not enough sideways action out of my car in the photos though

Mind you, according to the results, maybe there was too much sideways action. Got rather higher times compared with some of the others in my class.

U r right sideways is fun but not fast. Often 2-3 secs slower. It's your choice :-)

To get good times in Motorkhanas soften up your suspension (not sway bars), grip up your tyres (ie buy soft grippy rubber) and keep it super smooth.... and do it in the dry! What's with the water??

The real challenge is those reverse flicks into the finish garage! That's where there is real time to be gained.
