I run the 1.125" RB on soft up front, 14mm rear(MSM single setting), it's pretty neutral and easy to drive. I think once you change to that bar you should see less understeer.

Different camera angles and different drivers make different inputs, BUT the same track/corner!
Me being super timid in T10 in my car.
You, the same day as me, similar lap times, but you might have been turning in different spot.
Tom, different day but same corner and wayyyy faster than both of us Alien inputs from him a lot, as expected. He'll put big inputs to get the car on a slip, then correct and hold it.
It could be a combination of things contributing to this and not one single culprit. Fix your bump stops like E said, swap sway-bars, double-check your alignment before the next event, and go give 'er a whirl.
You guna be at Mid Ohio GLTC?

Did you believe your girlfriend when she also told you that?
To me it just looks like the front end is pretty dead and the tires are scrubbing.
Fix everything else we've talked about and come back to the steering thing. I don't think it's anything.
