A new version of the brilliant SRF F1 Sidecar is tested.
...this one has the guide on the centreline between the rear wheels, but the guide has been moved backwards to keep it within the same Sidecar bodyshell...
What’s the verdict?
- Handles like a shorter wheelbase vehicle (i.e. slightly less stable in chicanes and rapid direction changes
- Less tyre wear on the drivers side rear tyre which means more consistent grip
- Lap times are slightly slower than the wood track version
- I love it just as much!
- ...oh yeah, this one has stripes... LOTS of stripes... and teeth!!!
