I recall the same, and machined his own rims to fit a Countach tyre on the rear. Hopes for my first trip to Le Mans sank bleeding brakes at first light prior to a broken driveshaft on the way to the ferry. Maybe too much grip / oomph for a 90’s home built? We jumped into a backup car where I met...

Can you share a link for the GPS module? Can assistance be dialled down if too much? Have a Corsa EPS in a ‘40 with a non GPS box of tricks which is too light for my liking at anything above parking speeds.
