Re: Rf 117

Andrew, The drop floor is to help accomodate my 6'2" frame, unfortunatley the step in the floor goes the wrong way for the '"aerodynamic gurus" a flat floor is definatley better and I am advised that a step going up towards the rear is even better but I have to keep my helmet 50mm below the underside of the roll bar to keep the scrutineers happy,hence no Gurney Bubble and a dropped floor.

I think it is important to note that the standard RF suspension was never designed or itended to be suitable for race conditions, and I dont think that in road trim you should try and emulate race settings.
Ross is staring to push the envelope and as he gets quicker he will continue to uncover shortcomings in the car, I can assure you that he is not alone in this, with the exception of some of the really exotic sports cars they / we all suffer from the same issues
