Remarks: After a 3-year winning hiatus, Joern Neuman is back on top of the podium here at the Arena33. Prepared differently from what Team Schumacher drivers have been using so far on carpet, his car was actually closer to its kit setup, the British platform mostly developed on this kind of surface. The lipo is moved backwards, the piston holes are bigger and the rear springs are softer to better cope with the uneven track without losing traction. Joern also opted for a shorter wheelbase and an aluminium chassis. A key change in the car’s setup was moving outwards the rear camber links in order to obtain more braking traction without losing on mid-corner stability.
