Remarks – Making a return to World Championship action and putting in an impressive first seeding run with the third fastest time Steven is running Capricorn’s upcoming chassis release, the 804.  While being called at ‘prototype’, Steven says the car is ‘good to go’ to customers and expected to be available shortly. Explaining the differences to the car over the 803, at the front the  lower arms are 2mm longer with the chassis narrower to suit.  He said through the chicane this keeps the car a lot flatter and so a lot smoother to drive.  The upper arms are also mounted differently now being mounted to the new radio tray making the car more rigid.  The front bulkheads are 2mm lower which is better for steering.  At the rear of the car the bulkheads are narrower making the centre of gravity better.  The arms are stiffer with less cut outs and are also longer but the rear roll centre remains the same.  Steven is running Capricorn’s optional hubs both front and rear which he says makes the car roll a lot freer.  As part of the new radio tray the radio box has been made smaller and is now in the middle of the car.
