lol. That car drives as if it ABSOLUTELY no down force. lol. And to make it through most corners, you have to mitigate the angle of the car with almost more throttle than steering angle. Man that was so fun to watch haha.

I was thinking the exactly the same thing. Understeer at corner entry then throttle oversteer to bring the rear around on exit. It did look like a ton of fun, though!
The rears were bald too.
To minimize understeer the frotn pressure was at 1.2 bars (17.4 psi)and the rears at 1.6 bars (23.2 psi) , to have some more fun
Next track day will put some semi-slicks or full slicks go for some grip laps, but that will be less fun I guess

i understand, but if you compete in the lowest category (like me), it's still low budget cars... which makes it's ok for amatures like me...
Last time i finished 12th of the 24 in my class... and I was one of the few on streettires, most are on semi-slicks...
