Details:The stock body was not quite as stuck at speed as I’d have liked. It

 needed more front downforce as it would try to wash out at speed with

anything but a perfectly cut corner. I think a 200mm Saleen, or possibly a

Lola style body would work wonders at speed. I never got much past half

throttle all through practice and during the event itself so none of the cars

potential was really reached. I think I hit a few 60mph laps during practice,

but the car was really dancing right out there on the edge.
