Ansteht question depends on the latest setup sheets i saw.
The most of them drives the car very narrow in the rear, what is the reason for that and what effect did it have?

Thanks for your help and greetings from Germany

The P05 narrows the front rear of the car to provide arm sweep.

The narrower rear end provides additional steering at the sacrifice of stability (In our testing).

Our Gridworks Racing team had the highest VBC finish at Reedy in the open modified class (Second) and did so without running a narrower rear end.

Ultimately, the clock should be the determining factor, but these choices are often a matter of preference, track and or driving style and are not a one size fits all solution.

My best recommendation would be to give the narrower a rear end a shot and see for yourself. I ran a narrow rear end for some time and ultimately prefer the wider rear end on more flowing and lower bite layouts.
