Well done for the build to this stage, but watch out for that power understeer, even on bitumen. The old adage slow in / fast out seems appropriate to power turns in these cars.

A good example of that is seen on U-Tube showing Mike Murphy's 2007 Nats. run in the motorkahna, where the kerbs came at him fast, having failed to really turn the car around some witches hats. I can attest to the same outcome in the early days of pre-engineering "testing" in a local commercial back street.

Judging by other recent posts, there were fortunately no Hoon regulators nearby, to spoil my testing!!

I doubt you will have that problem though, judging by the scenery backdrop in you U-tube clip!!

Happy testing.
