The Limes are very soft, and I would assume the car is rolling over onto edges of foams and biting as they are quite large @63/62mm.

The other thing that ALG pointed out was steering rate. Seems we werent the only ones to experience this. On slippery tracks we are losing front end grips hence the car understeers and we over turn / slip the fronts until the speed drops enough then they bite

We too solved a lot of snapping out of corners by reducing the steering rate on the car and the evidence is that when we race with more drivers, the track gets rubbered in and we get more front grip.

just ideas.. who knows what esle there is to learn!
In the early days for Team Magic, people weren't happy and i believe they where pressured into releasing the current bellcrank design which just has too much steering for the car.

The 2009 is a much better balanced car and doesn't seem to have this issue as much...
