- Gearboxes have a neutral switch on the steering wheel that rarely works, very dangerous for recoveries with cars in gear.
- Trackside recovery workers specifically told not to pull isolator cable because it fires off the extinguisher at the same time.
- Paddle shift is so touchy drivers accidently upshifting over bumps.
- Air compressors required to pressure the air shifter are working overtime and changing gears is a hit or miss situation.
- Wiring loom is a nasty road car thing that is being squashed by the carbon FIA safety seat, most of these are fretting already.
- Multiple cars have had split fuel lines due to cheap hose.
- Cars had a lack of spigot bearing therefore the input shaft was flopping around, wearing out clutches.
- Uprights are incredibly fragile.
- Fuel pump issues due to the way the pumps are located in the tanks, requiring huge fuel loads, all the time.
- Longevity of road car rotors and pads has been questioned.
- Limp mode is engaged commonly due to fuel pressure issues from the pump, ending sessions for drivers.
- Engines vary 10hp, a huge number given the overall power.
- Front Bulkhead on tub is flexing under brakes, drivers then report a soft pedal.
- One tub had a delamination from normal use and had to be replaced due to lack of construction quality control.
- FIA Safety seat inserts have been bolted into the tub due to them sliding around, which defeats the purpose.
All submissions came to us via inbox, if you have others let us and others know. Don't believe the constant hype of this category, it is an unsustainable waste of members money!
Is Australian F4 the only one using the Mygale chassis?
