I know the poster I'd have hanging in my office if this was my car.

Which one? I'm going to get a metal print made to add the office collection. I need to see if my wife can do a better job fixing the colors on the airborne ones.

If you have a HQ version of them, feel free to email me a set as well. I would like to try my hand at editing them too.

No issues on the landing, remember this was lap after lap too and that's just the one the camera guy caught. No bottoming out and it was nice and smooth. We don't have a DSC controller yet that works in this car. I need to reach out to Mike and check in on that.

I am definitely comfortable pushing the car in the slower corners like on this track. I was sliding around a lot in this session.

That 6:56 slide sequence was pretty cool.

Does the car feel more balance or is it still pushing a bit. Looks like the latter.

Car feels great. I really can't explain why the balance feels great now.
