Then, the car was highly waited? Yes. And the first two big results are european champion with Robert and Japonese Champion with K.Fukuda.
Please tell me what car did you test for the first time in your local track, with basic setup, that was just perfect. I will buy 10 of those.
I haven´t recived my 5 here in europe yet, but when i do i shurely know that:
- basic setup is just a setup, and i´m 99% sure that it won´t fit the tracks that i run.
- roberts setup is just the setup for that specific track were he was crowned european champ. It will not be perfect for my track or my driving stile.
- I will have to develop my own setup, not doing just what the others do in their tracks. It will be my setup based on what the car tells me it needs running on that specific track.
Best regards.

Yep, while it would have been nice to work out of the box, I never expected it to, and while the lack of turn in seems to have effected a few people, it's still not an indicator of how good or bad the kit is, just that it was obviously setup for some track unlike what some are running it on now.
And one thing I should mention, mine 'is' getting faster, it's faster than the 4, and even though I'm working out setups (and in effect thinking out loud in this thread about it), I went a little over a half second quicker yesterday than my last outing, on what was a very greasy track (we had a major storm in the morning here), the race line was very narrow yesterday, and not crash hot anywhere off it.
