My point was more that I said one thing in another video, and even got a bunch of praise for my position, and then flip-flopped and went ahead and did the mods I had previously said weren't good for the class. Not being directed by my commenters, just saying I received a bunch of undeserved praise.

[@thechris84567]

you can say "This is a bad rule package" and then also go abuse all the loopholes and maximize your car within the rules without being hypocritical.

[@designator7402]

I would go as far as to argue that the best way to point out a bad rule set is to abuse the hell out of it.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

Unfortunately the only way to abuse rules like this is to spend an insane amount of money to make a statement at which point they accept your theory change the rules and now your car is illegal and all the money you spent is wasted.

[@Angriinomad]

That is what racing is about. It is playing the rule book is have an advantage and be competitive. Loopholes anyone can do so long as they are smart enough When multiple teams find ways to interpret rules is when the fun begins Ken Miles, Carol Shelby, Sterling Moss, Richard Petty are all known greats who found ways to go faster and make history being innovative within the rule book! Though it does suck that grassroots racing requires a lot of money to get involved in pushing most people out, and the rules are what dictates that

[@ttt69420]

If you aren't in a gray area you aren't winning. It's as simple as that. That's racing.

I was completely against 2-ways as well, and even went so far as to taunt Abe and Adam with jumping straight into 2-way remotes, at which point I was told remotes would not be allowed. Well, the rules changed, and the written rules said nothing about remotes, so now here we are, a year later, with $7000 (retail) MCS 2WR competition dampers on my car. For whatever reason they just can't leave this class alone. Oh, wait, it's us. We're why they can't leave it alone.

Love these videos and they are very inspiring to me to want to get into racing! Also I think the Evo may need a little bit more rotation? I noticed a lot of cars that were ahead had some decent rotation allowing them to hold speed through corners better

[@ChristopherHarris6005]

Awesome video as always Ben and Mark.

[@Atem_S.]

For the EVO understering you need an unbalanced set-up.. Basically, make the rear stiffer than the front with a bigger swaybar.. The car will be more tail happy making you turn in easier & faster and since you have the AWD system, let it do the rest.

[@poisonedpoi]

Might Find Some Time From Stiffening Front Sway Bar and Getting That Rear Inner Tire more planted instead of one wheeling. Awesome Build

[@brucksport]

Good stuff.....you did very well with what you were working with......I think you could have gone a bit quicker in the wet with a slightly different approach....maybe you could try gravel mode on the center dif, and switch up the driving to suit...slower and steadier on corner entry,,and driving out of the corners harder...the sideways stuff cost you first place

My guess is that the corvette is pushing oil into the intake in one way or another and that extra "fuel" is throwing off the tune and causing detonation and pulling timing.

16:01 to the homie Luca, unless you have ensured that your undershirt (the green Under Armor) is fire retardant, you may want to reconsider wearing that under your track suit. Just some advice from a GWOT veteran who knows some guys who learned that lesson the REALLY hard way.

[@tenExcalibur]

After all those laps in mr2. Seeing the rain on the track i was sure you got it. Sadly setup came in and u cant blame physics but look at the hand movement! It is a huge improvement on overall handling the sliding sketchy machine! Mr2 sure was a "racing program technique" :D

1. Have you fiddled with the ACD setting to help with handling? I saw that one of Best Motoring's guest drivers did that in one of their races, he explain how it helped overcome the car's handling in a couple of specific corners of a track. 2. Ben "Mäkinen" Lin.

If the class was Power/Weight ratio it will make more competitive class Some cars have 100-250whp more than others.
