If you've got a good engineer, when you arrive at the pits *****ing about how it handles through a corner, your man should be able to translate what you are talking about and come up with a solution. What works on paper doesn't always work on the track, I'm sure you already know this. my advise is to set it up as it is and drive it as fast as you can, then change it as you go along and see what happens, you can't beat track time...

I have just fallen asleep ,with all this. Seriously though I have set a single seater with and without Ackerman and saw no improvement in lap times so left it on, so we didn't strugle pushing the thing in the paddock

Hi!
Was this 100% and zero Ackermann? Short curvy track or a high speed?
Didnt the driver noticed nothing?
I am not to suppriced about the lap times, as there is both wins an losses in different corners.
