I’m having a big problem with my Ferrari. After truing my rear wheels and putting my car on the track to test the wheels just spun and were not making contact with the track. I then realized what was happening. A piece of the body was poorly installed and was hitting the track, not allowing the wheels to contract the track.
I am writing this to ask the race director to allow me to sand down the part of the Ferrari body that is making contact with the track. Here is more information to support my request.
I trued the rear wheels just to make them flat across the surface and not to remove extra material to lower the car. I removed 0.27mm of material as you can see from the pics. The top pic shows an untrued tire and the lower one shows my trued tire for comparison.
As you can see there is only .27mm of material removed.
The Ferrari body part that is making contact with the track can be seen in these photos. You can see how it was installed at an angle where the back piece of the part makes contact with the track.

I am hoping to be able to sand this poorly installed piece so my car will actually run as intended.
