I beg to differ on the "You Can Never Have Too Much Grip" statement.

I drove a certain chassis manufacturers DD2 kart in Super 1 in 07, well, I did two rounds. After breaking the same two ribs in each meeting, I couldn't stomach doing the Buckmore round! We had the chassis set full soft, no torsion bar, right out to the maximum track width, messed around with caster and camber to try and make the front pointier to get the back sliding, axle heights, axle softness, seat position, placing of lead. Nothing worked, it would still kangaroo round corners!! It was a horrible kart to drive (and that from someone that wouldn't drive another brand of kart!!). And I'm convinced that was down to the combination of a unusually stiff kart and the Vega Whites!!

We tried running the same kart on Dunlop SL4's, and while it was better, it was still too stiff for my liking, much too hard to build grip out of!

Vega Whites on an ICC was interesting though :D
