It did take some time for me to reach the point where I wasn't always crashing, but eventually it came.
I wouldn't try and mess to much with finding a great setup or the tyre sizes - what you need to do is simply to drive and try to keep within your limits. Easier said than done and I was always driving beyond my limits and therefore lots of crashes.

Cheers, Mark.
Yea I really wanted to feel the power of the brake at full speed, but the track was so small that when I got the car to full speed, it was already the end of the straight...
ALso I just bought the hudy setup system, So I kinda wanted to see if my setup was "even" by testing if there was any tweak.. Bad idea!
YOu should have seen those people's faces when they saw my pipe...
SO anyway, what I learned so far:
Don't spend so much time painting the body... cause it'll break in no time! and
buy a cheap pipe...
