I would suggest that statement is accurate Tim. Sometimes Will and I would look at each other and shake our heads over statements made by Robert L and agree that ' he just doesn't get it '. Will was probably the only employee who knew what was required for fast laps as he previously worked for Larry Perkins V8 Supercar team. Pretty unbelievable, but they only did static suspension/ wheel alignment. I've been racing the RF for 3 years with mixed results but the biggest problem is being a pioneer, I have no other setup information to work from (unlike Porsche) and the development is slow. Maybe this is what your alluding to when you say your getting results from another car.
