Pro-guy was complaining about oversteer. You can hear it in his throttle input and see some correction. It's not crazy bad but it's there.
I didnt see hear any oversteer, all I saw wasa few cases power over in some corners, and the car pushing hard in the rest of them. I mean, more than half a turn of steering input thru most corners with 0 correction or movement on the rear until he steps on the gas means its an understeery car, that the driver forces to power over with the gas. If the rear would rotate properly under turn-in he would be able to power out of those turns earlier and clear them at higher speed. I dont mean to say that the current setup looks bad or slow, au contraire, but I dont understand the suggestion for a stiffer front, which would make the car slower to me. But like I said, im not an autocrosser and would like someone to explain why a stiffer front in this case would yield a faster car.
