This looks a bit like T8 and T9 at Sebring.
Lots of Fiats crash there.

Weird how they lose it in places that seem plike straights in a GT3?
The diffuser makes more downforce than an aeor beetle I thought?

Looked to me like he had a flat or nearly flat tire. Corner exit at beginning was floaty and loose as well. Something wrong with the car.

Dude, most Fezza drovers don't even know what an alignment is. Most of them bring their Fiats to the track on 20 years old tires, with stock pads, old fluid, it is a Royal mess.

...and they still want to drive flatout.

From the factory, my Fiat came with a mess of an alignment, a rear wheel with toe-out, another with toe-in, the front ones with massive toe-in. The only measurement about right was camber and caster.

You guys get sideways (I have most of you on videos) in places where my Fiat stays glued and stable, low speeds turns mostly. On high speed turns, the Aero Beetles are more stable (gigantic wings always help).

My 07RS at California Speedway was more stable on the banking than the Fiat, but the Fiat lapped 2 secs faster despite of giving up 8mph on minimum speed through T1/T2. At Daytona, my Fiat is not stable on the high speed turns, same problem at Homestead GrandAm.

Actual downforce numbers from the Aero Beetles, and multiple other cars (Gallardo, Fiat, and others) are available at the wind tunnel test done by SportAuto in Germany. They test the cars at 125mph (200kp/h). Downforce numbers from the Aero Beetles are among the best, except some crazy high and impressive numbers done by the MP4-12C.

I'm testing some Aero fixes next weekend at Sebring.

I run a Challenge car and I can tell you, aero will help alot in the high speed turns. It will hurt on a track with long straights though. I love driving my Challenge car, very forgiving and easy to drive 10/10ths..

Btw, I have a Scud also, favorite of all my street cars. It does have a UGR twin-turbo set up which helps..

UGR twin turbo sounds Baller. I thought only Russian street racers had those

Look forward to your RS feedback

Would you consider installing the same wing from the 430 GT car?
