The car is now running with a 8.5T Tekin sensored motor and that's given it a boost in terms of pick up and speed - so much so that the buggy is now able to clear the triples on the track.
I find that tire selection is less crucial on a FF than on a rear wheel driven buggy. A good tire will give better forward bite but since the car won't spin out a worn tire still gets it round the track in a jiffy. Worn (or wrong) tires on my RWD will make a buggy near impossible to drive on the loose-medium tracks we run here.
Still getting more track time to get more accustomed to how to get the best lines out of the buggy - to cut the tightest lines my throttle finger has to adjust to a different style of driving.
