The car had a good arc, didnt fell like it was diving in to hard. Over the longer term, it might be a little easier on the front tires even with the battery in R2 or F1.
Cheers thanks Mark

I'm already quicker with the car on small to medium-sized tracks but not yet where I need to be on the bigger faster ones

I must say however that I'm amazed by the basic handling traits, car feels slow on the track but its actually not

Finding that, as we're not able to play with shock angles etc that increased flex and (subtle) changes in geometry seem to be the key to tuning this car
