    This was shortly before running two BMW's off the track at the same time, lol.
    Touring car racing was awesome when they were big saloons!

    Re: Excellent Pic of the week on Pistonheads

    Manly cars are often set up with near zero droop



    From this you can see how much lower it normally rides. Near zero droop will help it turn in due to weight transfer as it tries to lift a wheel I thinks.
