Only been to Stotfold twice with nationals so don't have the best local knowledge but...
Another factor in it is the astro itself....Stotfold is interesting...there is a section of astro that's laid in a different direction...meaning that the grip changes in this section...something that is more apparent in the wet...and for 2wd's!!!
Maybe this is something your finding out?!?!
If you walk the track and look at the way the astro pile lays you'll see it....there is a section to the left as your stood on the rostrum, inside the main straight and first corner/end lane that it is most noticable!
Depending on how the track is laid this patch always proves more tricky for grip for me.
Biggest way to deal with it is in your driving...just be more cautious in those areas where grip is lower. The best setup needs to work to give you the best time around an entire lap...not just that lower grip section!
