unfortunately the brass chassied SD1 i think suffered most from the 10v track power choice
during qualifying it ran a fastest lap of 9.5ish , whilst in the race it was slightly quicker at 9.26
in the qualifying notes i described the car as ' smooth , planted , heavy , a little slow , needs more brakes' , in the race notes i abbreviated it to just 'smooth , planted '
to explain , the car is very smooth and quiet , and due to its weight it is very stable mid corner , but that weight hinders it during acceleration and braking , .... obviously the lower power didnt help , but since this was across the board for all cars i feel it was fair
tbh i did have a look at this car , thinking it was a bit sluggish , but could not see anything obvious
i am certain , in future rounds , on larger club type tracks and with the extra power , this car will come into its own
hope this helps
btw , love this cars hydro dipped body ,and regarding that chassis , i need some tips to build one , it is lovely
