RGM now running coil Bilstein overs. Wonder old school, chop half a turn of std. springs would do?

As always it depends who you talk to on the day! The RMS car certainly has more boost but is it driveable? Stuffing it into the wall on turn 6 kinda answered that

I don't think that is a fair statement. Crashing on a racetrack is unheard of even on Formula 1.

Stig asking to drive the RMS car for the second time over the Caterham also answers that.

Just saying.

There's lots of factors obviously, but it did seem a bid odd that the one car I had doubts about was the one that crashed. And I've been to many track days at Zwartkops and nobody has ever crashed

And as for the Stig, that's kinda my point, do you need to be a full time professional racing driver to drive it?

If you want to push any car to the limit then I guess you do, hehe. Even a stock 86, all the reviewers say it is a 10/10ths drivers car.

Photos are out dated here is a vid

He said it was driver error and he didn't do a warm up lap after the car was standing still for a while, so the tires were cold.

But I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone .

Strange, I've seen crashes at track days before. It happens. And yes, I've driven the RMS 86 - not sure what you're on about, it was not a 1000hp monster.

Was Rob not happy with the Bilstein kit or were they not happy with the settings? Coilovers are not exactly plug & play, it takes time to set them up properly.

and those tires are wide hey, looks like it just lost traction.
sorry guys, and adding a turbo to the mix does not help, think you need to opt for full slicks next time round.................

i have a set of ISC coilovers brand new in the box...... pro kit, so it has adjustable camber plates and everything, ready to go. not going to use them.
