My car is much improved now. Suspension is working pretty well, we've clawed back some of the missing engine performance and the steering is nearing what I would call acceptable. All in all the car should be reasonably quick.
The biggest problem I have is the motivation to compete with it. I have another car that is giving me great success in the competitions I enter. Without the kind of development agreement I had with the original RF there is no real reason for me to waste money, time and effort on further developing the car for events that I can already do in another one.

FWIW: as a base car I think the RF is good, it's just that they were mostly set up for street use and (I think) what was needed in terms of setup for quick lap-times wasn't fully understood by all at the company.

As for other cars, I have sent a message to Fran at RCR about a car but I have had no response.
