New top decks tested

March 5, 2008

During last weeks test session we tried out the three new upper decks for the first time. As the 416 has a very soft chassis it would be interesting to see what would happen when trying the stiffer top decks on a carpet track. Quite surprisingly we found that the car did not improve when going stiffer on the upper decks even if the grip in the carpet was relatively high. Stiffer top decks made the car more difficult to drive and did generate less grip. We will continue testing the top decks and 5-cell chassis in the coming weeks.
