Can anybody give me some detailed info about the 4 way damper system, notably some advice on how to get the best settings for different styles of circuits. And yes I have read the manual, I just didn`t find it a great deal of help in this area. Mark _________________________________ "..every lap I think `Oh bollocks!

There are lots of bumps at monaco. I gained alot of speed around several left handers by softening the springs on the right hand side. I then went back and stiffened the springs and softened the dampers so that I could get the same effect but further reduce my ride height. I managed to trim nearly a second from my time with just softening the springs. And you could actually feel the bumps (or rather feel the car break loose even though there was no throttle or break applied and no change in turn rate). If the car breaks loose half way thru a turn under a fixed wheel with no throttle or break it is probably a bump. Also after softening the springs you can kinda feel the back of the car shimmey but not break loose at the same spot. Kinda makes sense that monaco is bumpy being as it is a city track. Eric Fesler
