Toll?
You could reduce the droop? put some spacers inside the rear dampers might help. Maybe a rear anti roll bar also. You could even go for a one way front diff to drag the front round if you're hard core.

I have been racing my DB01 on a high grip astro track for a while at Titchfield Off Road Car Club Hants (TORCH)

so high grip astro must be simular to high grip asphalt (tarmac)

a front oneway will help your corner exit grip, a rear anti roll bar will help.

do you have to use those tyres?

--according to the race rules I have to use original tires.
--I will try to made front soft and rear harder but afraid when jump up the front will point low rear high makes landing difficult......
--I try front oneway and rear roll bar also, hope it is not to hard to handle!

which shock absorbers do you have, the standard kit plastic ones or the TRF dampers?
