Maybe someone from the team can confirm??

I noticed that Cragg used a #3 Ghea piston, so I think the team were trying for a bit more pack for the big jumps.

The 2.5deg rear toe-in was a surprise, as from the guys I talked to who attended the worlds, it was a low grip surface. Maybe it helped the cars rotate through the esses more smoothly?

Looking forward to testing my B4+8mm soon...

Thanks Ray, I appreciate the info. I noticed Cragg's setup too. What does he mean Ghea piston? Is that a brand name?
