i've found when the hardtop is on the NC, it seems to bulk the back end up a lot & make it LOOK like it's sitting up higher than it is irwin

Hi all,
Well the initial test was a huge success. The cars performed faultlessly. The white car completed 175 km and the red car completed 207 km.
Conditions were trying at times as the rain fell but they improved later on in the day.
The cars still have the standard brakes, shocks, exhaust but we had the DO2 tyres on it.
We ended up into the 1.24’s on the GP circuit at Oran Park. All 4 drivers were within half a second of each other as they got used to the cars.
All in all a great day was had by all and things look very promising for the future.
