Having controlled tires and sauce does the exact opposite of favoring locals. Would you rather let it be a free for all. Having locals with intimate knowledge about when tires/foams come in there, which specific sauces work., pre breaking in tires/foams etc.? Makes no sense. I look forward to seeing more Schumacher cars

The local track I run on is probably medium bite Fall-Spring. But in the Summer it gets humid and the slicks come out and it is high bite. I think this car with motor position 4 will be incredible during slick season. Position 3 might even be possible. During the rest of the year on med bite I'll either try the KD or KC with position 4 and rear mounted shocks. I am betting the car will be a little more planted at the expense of some rotation/ corner speed.

And then there is that astro track opening up soon.....
