TRF 414 2011 edition first test
The car was tested for the first time in the Prostock class at the ETS round 6 in Andernach Germany because of non avalibility of the local track. The car run without any problems. It had the same suspension set up as on the 416/417.
The handling is feeling diffrent compared to a TRF 416/417. It is very easy to drive and can be placed more precisley on the track. The chassis is a bit too stiff and the front to rear weight ratio is a bit more on the rear than on the 417. From the first run it did the same laptimes as the 417.
No additional transmission losses were noticed with the two extra belt pulleys. A softer chassis and diffrent upper decks will be tested to soften the chassis flex. If more grip can be generated and it still is easier to drive than the 417 it should be very good. It will be my race car from now on.
