Hi W-D,

> sc-996: The rear wheels protrude through nearly all the time (May be
reducing the width of the rear axle helps?)

Hmm ok, I'll look at that.

> sc-ciclon and sc-f360: The front wheels protrude through at high
compression

I was sure I'd fixed those :\  Ok, will review again.

> Did you test the fuel consumtion (AFAIKS the cars not balanced here)?

Good question - no I hadn't.  Will look at it tonight.  Should I just make
their consumption
all equal to each other?

> Do you feel the cars beeing balanced for human drivers (For simplix the
difference is notable). 

That's a very difficult one to answer, as I haven't (and won't) have time to
drive all the cars
on multiple tracks of different types.  Some cars will do well on fast
tracks like Forza, but suffer
badly on aalborg/alpine-1 etc where other cars will shine, so its hard to
say for sure they're 
balanced.  Btw even if I had driven them all on those tracks & believed they
were balanced overall,
I could still be wrong as someone with a different driving style could well
get different results!

Its actually quite likely that USR will show some cars as being better than
others too, but also
likely that it'll have a different ranking than Simplix.  

I guess it doesn't matter if the balance isn't 100% perfect, just "good
enough" & hopefully without
any cars that are way faster than (or slower than) the rest of the pack
across most tracks.

cheers
