Regardless of that, I’ve not come across another car that is so eager to heat the outer edges - and I’m intrigued by the caster-reduction outcome given that even at its minimum setting, there is still ‘significant’ positive caster present.
Anyway, the car seems quite fun - and after a quick two-car sprint with KCW yesterday afternoon it seems serendipitous that we are only running six lap races as the tyres scream for help….:eek:
