Of course improving the nut behind the wheel is the best solution. That said, Simon's car was difficult to drive. A lot of power and very little grip. I took it for two laps and got a 62 something with it. I actually don't think it's the suspension, but tires. Last year when it had less power and better tires, the car was a blast to drive. Now it's very unsorted. The turbo kick was very unsettling on this particular course, coming on at the wrong times.
