( Both from Phat Bodies - Phat Weights are the future!)

grip level was awful but the car still felt as good as i remembered it, smooth and easy to drive, but with plenty of steering and the ezrun severely reduced the amount of torque steer.

This car really suits my driving style (smooth as possible with little or no braking) and i felt easily able to put together consistent lap times, this gave me the confidence to post the fastest lap time in each heat i ran (somthing i've never done!)

all in all, i'm looking forward to running this in the national series this weekend.
Looking forward to seeing this new project Mat sounds like you have it locked down mate
