my best was consistently 138-139mph until this year with a bit less weight and it rose to 143mph

but whether that is faster acceleration or faster previous corner speed id have to check

If you can carry a little extra speed out of the hairpin at start of the back straight 4mph more would be achievable i reckon ... and a a bit braver on the brakes at the end..maybe at the 100 marker instead of the 150 marker

disconnect the rear roll bar and run the front on either softest or next one along

+ 1 on what he said, just disconnect one droplink at the rear no matter what side, and put the front on the softest if you are still getting understeer then disconnect one front droplink as well, ie you will have no anti roll bars connected. Damping should be tuned down as well.

Trial and error really as to what you need but this is the general principle.

Or just leave it as is and dont drive like a hero in the wet

If you guys are that concerned, buy some wets.

If you are not running wets, leave as is and take it easy.

Save the hero shit for the dry.

If however you are racing, its another matter.

i agree, no reason to push it in the wet BUT then again better to make the car as compliant as possible as it may help car control and stop a spin
