Also depends on how much gas I have towards the end of the day, if it's near empty I will place it back in so it's not completely back heavy.
Really interesting to me... I pulled out my spare over the weekend while running AutoX and just assumed less weight is better - BUT I did not account for the loss of weight over the front wheels as a potential problem (understeer?).

I have a C4S so not sure if that changes things much around this idea....

Need to try a Test and Tune at some point to have less "pressure" and freedom to experiment!

I think the tire pressures at that one was stock settings.

Well heck......I want to win.
When we did the Canadian Endurance Series, we raced on the runways at Argentia.

I also took part in the Formula Atlantic race run through the streets in St. John's.

Cheers.

I was just a kid in Gander and missed those. But when I got into AutoX and then Targa NL I heard of both. Targa ran a stage around the Confederation building that was supposed to be the Formula course.

Do you have any pictures you could share?
