Carlos should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
OK im waiting for the laughter but I know of at least a couple of competitors doing the same thing. I run the same car in rallycross so marty you probably know me. I run with a stiff setup, ie bigish braces top and bottom with bilsteins and run 16 front and 18 rear (keeps the tail loose if higher at rear). I find the temp rises quicker because of the increased flex so with the short 3/4 lap races the heat gets in the tyres quicker and helps in the gravel with softer tyres. Feel free to ignore me but it seams to work well for me, and when I was first advised this I was very sceptical about trying it. P.S I know of someone running 14 front and 16 rear but havnt been brave enough to try that.
