Control tyres --Avon radials

Did say ( the engineer) that they did spray kart tyres with wd40 and lifted them up and spun them made them sticky ( dont know if that legal or not)
They were more interested on traction corner speed and aero dynamics not top speed .as you would have guessed in f3 not much real power . but plenty of cornering power
Dallara have quoted 2400 lbs of down thrust from rear wing makes you think . By the way we bought last years chassis off them minus engine
