Suspension Problems

Since we started testing we have been getting considerable vibrations and a lot of shaking, especially at high speed. The team has now been able to identify the problem as a programming glitch. This has been fixed and although there is still some vibration the driver cannot notice it.

This has been a big step forward as it enables us to use stiffer suspension settings without the car becoming unstable. As a result, the car has been lowered and speed has increased.

Next steps, fine tune the dampers and start looking at gear ratios to help boost the car's straight line speed.
