Any advice on front wheel height?
Are the tapes on the tracks in the series flush, proud or recessed?

I believe most are flush, I have used the plastic track slot it guide and have set the car car so that it I’ll level with the bottom of my set up board or about a tick over 6mm

I would tend to believe that on any "taped" tracks, the contact surface would be slightly proud of the running surface

...........a bit of masking tape on either side of the slot on your set up block should work just fine to replicate this for setting your front end.
Braided tracks are generally recessed, and plastic, can be either, depending on the brand.

I can predict how the proxy results will go - You’ll be eating Aussie dust.

If any UK cars finish the proxy in the top half...

More likely tyre dust from what we are learning.
