Lola Vs. Reynard Setup Options

From http://www.champcarworldseries.com/N...le.asp?ID=8855 Derek Walker said:
"Our team is beginning to understand the Lola after years of running the Reynard. Running the new car is quite different because each make of car has its own characteristics so it is about understanding how it all works."

"The Lola has a lot more options, so you have to be careful you don't get yourself lost - with the Reynard there wasn't as many things you could adjust."

Does anyone know what these setup items are that Walker is refering to?

Currently you can make the Lola to be short wheelbase with weight biased to the front, short wheelbase weight with the weight biased to the rear, long wheelbase with the weight biased to the front and long wheelbase with the weight biased to the rear. This gives 4 starting points to define the setup. It needs a lot of testing to exploit the potential of the car fully. Plus more than 10 suspension kinematics solution on each of these 4 baselines.
The strong points of the car are:
1) Sound engineering by Lola
2) Sound engineering by Cosworth
3) Bridgestone slicks
4) PI dataaquisition in most cases

Keep it like that! Just make it a bit more economic through less variety in setup
