January testing
We have done three days of testing with the TRF 416 in January in our attempt to try to find the ideal settings for the new chassis. Having started with similar set ups that worked well on the 415 we have now ended up with setups that are a bit softer and similar to the ones used by the TRF team at DHI cup. This is a good base to work from to gather better understanding of the car.
But so far it is clear that the 416 is a lot easier to drive than the old one. Also the car responds well to set up changes and it is easy to change the balance of the car. It is even possible to get it to understeer a lot on carpet and that is something that we haven’t experienced in the past.
