I’m liking the way these cars are not glued to the track. Looks tough as hell to find the edge, shaking up for a good season I think

Yeah seeing and hearing “super clipping” where the car goes so down on power they are downshifting towards the end of the straight well before the braking zone

Yeah, they gotta get these batteries like 30% bigger I think that would help with the straight line suffering. And a V8.
