I see MK Racing are taking pre orders for these on their website now....

Slightly off topic I know so I apologise, but is it possible for a car to just not suit a person?

The reason I ask is this... About two months ago I got into the sport and went out and bought a RB5 SP2 and also a B44.1. Both were brand new and it was a toss of a coin as to which one I started with.

The coin fell down on the side of the B44.1 so I have been trying to race this for the last couple of months and just cannot get it to feel right. A mixture of understeer and grip roll has got me driving the car on tenterhooks just trying to keep it on all 4 wheels but I am sooo slow through the infield as a result it frustrates the hell out of me.

So last week I wheeled out the RB5. Bearing in mind this has been neglected somewhat while I focused on the 4wd so it has had no set up tweaks and it is literally as per kit build instructions throughout. I didnt race the RB5, just gave it a bit of track time practicing with it but it instantly felt quicker. Yes there was still some grip roll, but they were brand new tires so I expected this. I was able to choose a line and drive it though, whereas with the B44 it is all about getting around the corner, the line taken is just random and different every time.

So.... my question is, can a car just not suit somone for no good reason? I am thinking of getting a driver or two from the 4wd A final to take my B44 round and see what they think. If they drive it ok then I know the issue is with my harmony with the car, not the car itself.

Having driven the RB5 better though, then I also know that it is not simply me being a hopeless driver either so I need to establish whether Im not suited to 4wd in general, or more specifically the B44.1

If it turns out to be the latter, then having been chuffed with the 2wd performance in testing then the FS2 will be top of my list for an alternative 4wd.....
