The driver’s comments

The steering wheel makes you feel like Michael Schumacher, thanks to the manettino dial that adjusts different settings of the car. After one lap, useful to get to now the car, I started accelerating and I felt a good shifting speed, a proper set-up and a powerful break.Unfortunately the shift paddles did not follow the steering wheel.

I oversteered out of the Roggia and you really have to watch out during the re-alignement because it tends to be quite abrupt. The driver immediately finds a good feeling with the front and acceleration is great fun. It is a nice car: it is fast and fascinating, yet it has quite a stiff setup. quite rigid on the sulla verticale.
