They are not doing to well at the moment, Hideo had a ok 3'rd run but diden't complete the first two timetrials.

Yutaka is best placed Cuda drivers after 3 timetrials placed at 26 .. but that is for his total points...

You can se the results her:

Hi guys,

Been out running my TrioX today (been too long ), and I was messing around with the setup. I was playing around trying to dial out the understeer, and I found that by standing up the front shocks more, I got more steering. Is this normal?????
Would this mean that if I drop the rear shcoks down, I would get more steering, b/c I still get abit of understeer which is hampering me abit.

Thanks for the help guys

Dan
Anyone

Hi Dan,

Your right about the dampers .. if you lay down the rear a little more you get more steering.
When do you need more steering ? Going in/out or mid corner og all the way around ?
