With a huge wing like that all you will do is raise your COG (centre of gravity) making your dave more prone to rolling in his speed corners.
Try a lower type of shell (speed 6) and I promise you will be faster

TIGRAAA! The speed 6 is very understeery so not too bad on large tracks as it provides good straight line stability.

But the tigra provides lots of steering while still maintaining rear end grip and from my findings is the least prone to grip rolling.

On an oval I've tried quite a few shells.

Some are more stable down the straights some seen to turn in faster than others, some definately get caught up on other cars more than others.

I always went back to the Clio Williams MK1, for me it was always the best allrounder

Now I race a large circuit track at Maritime Raceway and am gonna try the Speed Six Shell
