I still have my CEFX, which was probably the only WGT kit here in the UK. That said I haven't seen many others, so it is good to see another!

The F2.0 works well on asphalt. We run on grippy tracks, but there are flex and other adjustments that would help it work on low grip.

The 2 x 40g weights are in the kit. The 45g is an option and...

Love this video!

Track looks awesome. Reminds me of the Cotswold track here in the UK, which also has big elevation changes and corners with different cambers. A proper drivers circuit.

Knowing the F103 and Iconic Cup, a lot of the problems you describe will be down to the car park being dusty and having less grip than the circuits we race on.

Tyre additive also helps in the dry....

This is great advice and I'd have recommended the same.

My understanding is you'd definitely need a different differential for the 3 hole mounts. What I don't know is how the metric bearings for...

I know the Montech F18 fits the CRC as Jeff Dayger ran one at the Snowbirds (and my car ran one too). There is also a Protoform F15 that I run and fits well, and I've got a Protoform F26 that I've...

There were a few Mazda 6 and Mazda 3 entries in the BTCC series in the UK. None that particularly inspire me.

There has been great advice on the replies to date :nod:

With a R5 front end the things I'd suggest for a CRC front end don't fully apply. At the front I'd check if camber is the same both sides....

You heard wrong!

I had the privilège of refereeing enough modified heats and finals at these Worlds. I saw at least a couple of racers dump before the 8 minutes. And there was a reason why the...

I've successfully run a 25k grease in the rear diff. It doesn't need much.

Did run 1 million in the front, and gone back to 500k for recent races.

I'm sticking with the kit arms for now. Seems to me there is plenty of adjustments with the arm spacers and 4mm or 5mm width hexes.

My understanding would be the same as yours: more balls in the diff = more contact area.
