[s-cars] In action...

[Frederic L'Huillier]

I don't know actually. Because this curve is very dangerous due a little
wall on the right side of the track at the end if the curve. So if you miss
your curve, you are very likely to hit it sideway ! ! !

The car behaved strangely on ttat sunday mainly due to too much pressure on
the tires, specially the rear ones.

The good thing is that the same happen again a few laps later but I was able
to control it all the way.
