    Advice on setup

    Advice on setup

    Tyre sidewall issues , loads of grip winding up the chassis which then loads and unloads the outside front tyre Stiifer sidewalled tyres , more pressure would be 2 starters However has the car been corner weighted Is the hopping the same on left and right corners and what sort of speeds ;
