back in the 80's when i was racing road course, i was racing the RC10L pan car.....it turned better because it was wider...or so everyone thought. Team Associated then came out with a narrower version called the rc10LSS (superspeedway version for banked ovals). if wider was more stable then why would associated make it so slender? also, then why are dragsters so thin and funny cars and F1 cars as well.... and the mclarens GTP's wider that run road course?
