Martin,

It is my experience that a more narrow track makes for more traction. What am I experiencing here ?? It definitely makes that end of the car less forgiving, and seems like it changes direction quicker.

In fact, I have been making the rear match the width of the front by adding 1mm spacers on both rear hexes to make increase the rear grip a little and make it more stable through high speed chicanes.
