I took my M07 out for a test run today. Was a bit twitchy with the Team Powers 36 tyres, but when I switched to the Pit Shimizu 33 front 27 rear it felt rock solid. No idea if the lap times were quicker than my M05v2R as the practice timing system wasn't working for some reason.

I noticed my M05v2R pulls left when accelerating, but tracks straight once up to speed, and tracks straight under braking. Will need to check the balancing on it, and retest with the Shimizu tyres (only ever run TP36 on that car).

The aluminium glass fibre tape used to seal the gearbox didn't last long. This was after roughly 10 laps.
