Got board this morning, and after watching IMSA races most the day, and reading about the 911 GT3 RSR, I wanted to try my 911 as a MidMotor like Porsche designed it. So I took my Narrow chassis, which has a Nexx Racing 90mm MM Pod, and put my 911 body on it along with the wheels/tires from my Porsche chassis w/ Nexx Racing 90mm RM Pod.
It handles very well, though it is a bit more prone to TR, I'm guessing it's the higher position of the motor, raising CG. But a little sooner off the throttle and smooth steering inputs, has it carving the corners! I'm going to put both chassis on the clock this afternoon to see which is faster.
Fun experiment, maybe a sub class like the MX-5?

Hope yall are getting the CCW layout down. I'm finally able to miss the turn 4 inside wall much better. I did loosen the wall pins about half way on both inside walls on turn 3 and 4 to help absorb the hits. It allows the walls/corners to slide up making the square hits much easier on the bodies!

I'll be posting ideas for the next layout towards the end of the week. NO straights with walls protruding into it this time!
Have FUN EVERYONE!!!

MM Chassis on the left, RM on the right.

Here's pics of the corner pins unscrewed about half way. Seem to really help, but with a hard hit it will dislodge the corner pieces from the walls and it's best to fix them quickly to keep them from deforming the "locking ears" .
