Awesome cars, thanks for didicating yourself for this awesome conversion.
I had some time to take this mod out to the track, I chose Jaguar for beginning. As expected it felt really strange at first, because I drove nothing like that for months and months. But soon it started getting familiar, and within few laps at VIR I was driving fast with that smile that happens when car feels right.
However, there is obviously things to discuss. Mirror seemed a bit too high, driver eyes position a bit off, and FFB is very high for aero car like that without using DD wheel. But I quickly adjusted to all that except mirror, so it was pretty good.
Handling is nice, but something feels disconnected, not sure what, and obviously I saw in replay that wheels are gliding above surface. Ok joking it is not because of that. But there is something about tire that seems like not giving much feel. Car felt overall easy and characteristic, but I quickly learned that it is easy to stall aero, and sometimes it seemed like front is unloading a bit, perhaps it is correct I don't know. Tire wear seemed a bit rapid, but perhaps that was also correct for that tire. Car provides feeling of being pretty light, I am interested and will go make little bit of reading about it. I was also impressed by stiffness of anti roll bars, they are quite strong, for what I suppose is a light car. Does aero cars need strong anti roll bars because of amount of G-forces ? That of course makes sense, but I also think about aerodynamic load that is probably as big as car weight with massive venturi and wing like that, and logically aerodynamic load will not get transfered as per weight transfer when cornering, so it is interesting subject to me.
Yet to take it to Lime Rock
