Then I realise it just needed new tyres up front, and rack up a win lol
Lots of things wrong with the bulk approach. Don't learn much cause you never know what each individual thing does. If there is something most "racers" agree on it's "change one thing at a time". Too many things work against each other. Once you have an extensive file on this does this and that does that, you can do more things cause you'll be able to stack things that go in the same direction
