Stotfold is quite bumpy and it can make a big difference to lap times if the car can handle them without losing control. The 6 hole pistons just allowed the suspension to react quicker to the small bumps and therefore made the car easier to drive.

The negative of this is that the car will ground out quite easily over jumps. At Stotfold, the jumps have downramps so it is not too much of a problem but for elsewhere it may be necessary to run smaller holes in the pistons.
