Re: How to test a cage (shakedown94)

Racing 101:

Front of car hits the wall first == understeer
Side/rear of car hits the wall first == oversteer

Apply the rule:

WRX == understeer
206 == oversteer

In true rallycar style, #57's winshield wipers were flapping away upon landing.

That just sent chills down my spine. It looks like the cage held up well on the 206.

Holy ****

Would it be safe to assume that the oversteer was lift-off oversteer? The 206 is FWD after all.
