Well you simply have no clue about car set up, weight transfer and corner weighting. 🙅
Go back and read what I said again.
As for knowing about car setup, well when you match my times with 40 less HP and 45kg more race weight in your car then I might respect your opinion........until then you have a lot to learn.

Maybe you could run an Ally case, so then you could have another excuse for not performing ? 🤪

So yeah VW has apperently stopped making magnesium cases now.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.
