I agree with this on corning entry.. it helps the car go into the corner much more easily, but still sure footed and planted just easier... but through the corner, yes it doesnt roll as much.. but the extra drive and the feeling of the car well and truely planted was a huge difference and to just change this at Chadderton on sunday and go 1sec a lap quicker that should surely tell you whay im trying to explain..
Mattb will tell you i was very reluctant to try the roll bars after not liking them at all outside... but on the the type of indoor smooth surfaces, carpet or worksop type floor i know what i'll be using... im so glad i tried..
With out the bar you can still hug the corners but jump on the power to quick and the back wants to kick out so you have to be smooth on the power delivery... with the bar.. bang and off you go!
I reckon if it wasnt for speedo issues i would have been in the A looking at my laptimes in rd4 and my B final..
The top people in the A were on quick 19sec laps.. i was in the same 19 sec a lap bracket but not as quick... usually im 1 sec a lap down on the top guys..
So glad Matt kept on at me to try the bar... cheers dude!
Cheers
