Trying to get an F104W acclimated to black carpet and there are two issues I've seen in my first few packs:

1) It seems to lift the inside rear just enough to diff out on tight corners. I'm actually not losing rear traction, just acceleration, which makes it quite driveable but frustrating since I can't accelerate hard off a turn. Next time I will try heavier side damper, lowering ride height, or reducing front grip. Any better ideas?

2) After about 8 minutes of laps I had a front tire come off. On closer inspection I saw that the bearings pulled through the wheel, seemingly without breaking anything. I could reinstall the wheel as-is and drive it again. Is this common to the flexible F1 wheels or do I just have a broken one and don't know it?
