The car had its debut in Norway the past weekend with great success.
The car felt rely balanced with its 18mm prolonged chassis rails and rely easy to drive. The only issue was the mandatory tires Schumacher's Mini Spike 2. At the rear you had to cut away 1 or 2 spike row's on the outside. On the front I had to cut away 4 row's on the outside, 2 row's on the inside, so in the end it was only 2 row's left... There is a lot of grip on the Astroturf... :mrgreen:

About the slipper: I don't think it ever slipper, I have to remove a 0.10mm shims or so. I had no problem with the rest of the drive-line except for slightly bent front CVD after a heavy tumble down "the wall of death" :shock: after hitting curb on the top during practice.

Glad they treat the senior racers well :wink:
By the looks of Your tires, it seems like You could have ran slicks and still have plenty of grip :D
