I don't know about the F40 not being an easy car to drive.  It's pretty much
an F1 car with a body, and is still faster than the new F50.  The one at the
VC Hill Climb looked VERY stable and stuck to the road real well...the Sport
Q's couldn't match the performance since they weren't really setup properly
for a road racing format (sitting a bit high, and 15" tires with tall
sidewalls, etc.)  The F40 was a second slower than the AWD RUF CTR2 that
David Beddor drove...really actually surprised me, since the F40 looked
faster.  Tim Valencia's road racing 4ktq was actually faster than the Sport
Q's, because it was setup properly.

cya!
