I had a very nice formula racing day. We had a surprise field of six cars at our club today. A mix of Xrays, VBCs and one WRC.
I had a very nice fight with one regular and very good ETS Formula driver (VBC) . My F1R2 was very agile in the middle corner and good on power. Only the corner entry was paired with hard understeer. That is for sure a problem of the Ride ETS front tires, but it forced me to initiate the turn with a braking procedure. Nevertheless with strong concentration I could establish a good rhythm and won the last two finals with a quite dominant margin

I tried the Pit Shimizu tires for the first time today.
I would have never thought that these are so much better than the Ride ETS.
It was so much fun! The car nearly felt like a TC. Normally I have adjustment difficulties after changing from TC to F1. Not today. The balance and griplevel is awesome. My personal best of 13.8s was lowered to 13.4s.
One guy was there with his ETS legal X1 and I felt sorry for lapping him all the time. My car is full UF1 legal (in Germany
). Let me tell you that you guys have much more fun with your F1 cars than us in Europe.

Try adding some shims to the front axle, behind the wheels. Maybe 1mm on each side.
Also measure at the bottom of the wheels. not the top. Camber will make the bottom of the wheel wider than the top
. Mine sits at 188 wide using Exotek wheels and Shimizu tires and no shims.
