Besides, the traction rolling problem was not at the places in the track where the bumps were.
Yes, that is definetely a lame reasons. As lame as if not admiting the design of V1RRR is taking all the `never tought possible` before from Serpent and CG of Team Magic Car (which used to copied V1R).
I think the flip problem is due to the use of harder dampening to get less roll rather than changing the roll center of the car and use softer dampening. Just a tought only
