Some people in here may slate Schumacher for this car but I think good on them for testing and trying out new ideas, if this didn't happen wouldn't we still be racing gold tubs?
I'm not sure these type of cars are just for mega high traction though, at our 1st round of the winter championship at Torch last Sunday Kev Lee dominated with his new TM2 (2nd time out with this buggy) on a wet and greasy track. To be honest his car looked dialled from the get go and beat many fast guys with conventional mid motor cars. The DB1 struggled in the wet but the DB2 seems to have resolved this issue, and these are cars that have no front/rear torque reaction from the motor, whilst the KF should shifts it's weight to the rear as the motor spins in the same direction as the wheels, like the SX3 did. And you can hardly call wet astro as being high grip, at least you can't at Torch.
At the end of the day Schumacher are here to compete and need to build the cars that can win, if people don't like this new trend started by others then they should vent their anger at the BRCA for allowing such cars and not at the manufacturers that are trying to keep up.
