| Not seen the picture but wouldn't be surprised if he's put a front spoiler on it as he was struggling to keep the front end down and the front wheels were spinning up through lack of grip. | |

Yes, but sand bags add weight which he has gone to big lengths to get rid of. | |

| Spoiler is poncy not the spec.
Spoiler wont do jack shit on the line... needs air flow.
Sand adds weight for rubber traction. | |

| Use wider tyres, bigger tyres...
A map to launch with less power which builds up after launch.....
You dont need 1000+ hp to win a race... | |

| The front spoiler is real and just used on the circuit to help prevent understeer. Cars had been running on the circuit all day then on his first go he went straight into the lead by a few seconds and stayed there. Both front and rear spoilers are removed for the drag strip. | |

| Well you better let mr Forrest know cos he managed the fastest time ever at 10 of the best ( 8.7 sec quarter mile) without sandbags.  Imagine what he could do with them | |

I might have a go at York as I think I've figured out the launch control | |
