SpawnyWhippet has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I don't know what your level is, Tim, but I am not sure how useful you will find it to pound round a track in a different type of car to the one that you race. If you are getting instruction, you may benefit, but otherwise, it really just for fun. You need to learn how to handle the race car at the limits, then get instruction on the ways in which you can push those limits further. Also, if you are testing in the race car, you will find things that you can adjust, but make sure you are taking careful notes as to whether the changes make you faster, slower, or no difference. (eg, took 2 turns off suspension setting 1, lowered front ride height by 3mm. Times increased by 0.2s) If no difference, then you probably aren't pushing the car very hard. This is at its most effective if the driver does not know what, if any changes have been made.
