). I visit some tracks now and then in Germany, where do you drive and do you have some setup sheets?

European Setup ;)
This is my standard setup from which I start of at any circuit. I love the car balance in fast curves and the steering when accelerating out of a corner. For this setup make sure to have perfect 25% of weight on every tire (at least perfect symmetrical)!

We have 3/4 racers here in France, very little to no sponsor at all, it would be I think an advantage to have some top racers in every European leagues with some kind of sponsoring, it does not have to be full, but some help for parts etc...can be fairly easily done, giving them new parts to try etc..to get feed back and create buzz, in UK, AE is well supported and represented, probably due to their importer, but it is true that for the rest of Europe, it is very often a one man show.
We have 3 TC6 now in our club

Obviously AE has a history of winning and when we go to a race winning is our objective. But it is more important to put a good product in the hands of the people that are spending their hard earned money. If the TC6 is a club racer's car, that is not a bad thing.
However I do believe that the TC6 is a competitive car on an international level. A driver like Juho Levanen suffers because he is the only TC6 driver competing the larger European events. There is no setup help and nobody to bounce ideas off of. I believe he qualified 12th which is a feat in itself considering he is a one-man operation.
AE has four pro drivers racing the TC6: Rick Hohwart, Juho Levanen, Keven Hebert, and Olly Jefferies. It is rare that more than two of these drivers race at the same event and in many case it is only one. But in the international races like Reedy TC Race of Champions and IIC the TC6 places well.
Juho won an ETS round last season, Jefferies won some BRCA rounds and almost won the championship, and the TC6 does well in the U.S. But the team is small and spread out which does not help. AE could sponsor more drivers and get more guys in the mains but the ultimate goal is to put a good car in the hands of the customers and I feel we have succeeded at this.
