I have never driven a car with downforce before. I am assuming there are some specific techniques. Does anyone have any insights?

. Try it and find out. The usual applies, slow in fast out, keep it smooth, but I assume that you have bought this monster to have a blast. Go out there, fall off, learn, get better. Easy really.

The big difference driving a car with downforce you will notice is the high level of grip in high speed corners and what will feel like a low level of grip in slow corners ! It takes time and experience to have the confidence to trust the grip levels at high speed for cornering and initial braking from high speed.

Give me a call anytime to chat in detail if you want more help.
