T bar cars are usually the car of choice on asphalt.link cars have an inherint push that is very difficult to rid the car of but it is very easy to drive.our DB12R handles similar to a T bar car without the T bar,very aggressive,good steering,yet takes the bumps well due to the fact you can isolate side to side and forward and aft spring tension.all the cars out feel good when driving them.T bar cars and my DB12R will fit a more aggressive driver,a link car is more mellow and easy to drive.down here in florida the DB12R and T bar cars are all that makes the top 5 at our state series races.
