Fair enough. I've got here two test videos (thanks to Tom Raymakers) of the car early on the test day:

Video 1
Video 2


Later on the day I was confident enough to jump the double, and as I got more used to the car I jumped flatter and more consistently

There was a guy with a slowmotion camera and he said he had footage of the car... with a bit of luck I can hold of this. I also shot some pictures of the car in action (and someone else with my camera and me at the wheel). I'll post these soon.

In the video I think it's pretty clear to see the tight turning radius, high cornering speed and decent acceleration. On the short run-up to the double it has more than enough traction to clear it. You occasionally hear the car tapping or clicking: it's the front end bottoming out. Also you might spot a few times that the rear end slides away too much (19 seconds in video 1 - that type of slide is one that's not easily corrected by the driver alone and cost a lot of time as the car goes out of shape and with that off the racing line you want). These two issues were solved by tweaking the damping.
