THR has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
FRenault single seater, about 500kgs.

im not sure how u mean by floaters?
the discs are bolted rigidly to the hub.

by underbrake i mean we can have full fornt bias and the fronts will still not lock up no matter how hard he pushes them. to me, thats underbraked.

the discs (and wheels) get very hot, but we havent actually got a temperature off of them. they dont warp, or change colour, so they must be ok.
upgrading the brakes isnt allowed, all we have to play with is the pads.
the pads float til the piston pushes against them, like in every other brake ive seen.

we tried red EBC pads, but that was last year when he didnt have the confidence to really push hard of them anyway, so might try them again.

who are PFC?
