My Lola spyder body is so warped (stop the snickering!) that it affects the front wheel heights and warps the chassis if the screws are ‘just tight enough’. Obviously affects the handling esp. in the esses and back straight.
This thing is twisted like a Mobius (or donut twist if you prefer)
Looking at the nose, the left front fender skirt is 2mm off the block/track.
Looking at the rear, the left fender wheel appears 2mm~3mm higher then the driver/right side.
I had a white kit for spares (since when we started racing these 3 years ago spares were very rare in the USA, or even at PSR). It’s body is also warped altho not as much (Fr 1mm Rr 0.5mm) as the painted one (Revson can-am). So, new spare body received from Cloverleaf this week … the MF is as warped as the original Revson!
Apparently this is not rare as a few blogs/boards have (not very enouraging) threads on the issue.
