That and you dont have to do any experimentation. The book has been written on these cars a few hundred times over, all you do is copy one of the many successful configurations. No headache, no fuss.

Working on a car has always been a means to an end for me. I just want to track the car, not fix it or design it. Give me a winning solution I can copy, and I'll take that anyday over wasting cash on trying out stuff that is unproven. :tongue

unless your an engineer, dont think there's any need to "try new things" to be different like with street cars.
