What happens if the left front wheel doesn't stay on the guide rail? I took this into consideration when building it. The last thing I would want is that the car would come away from the rail and make contact with the car to its left. I did testing to ensure that even if it road at the most extreme angle possible it still should not be able to contact the car to its left. The front right wheel is slightly in farther than the right rear. With that wheel being so far back it also has extra weight on it which will make it more difficult for it to jump the rail. Also it is raised just slightly off the track - making a bigger hurdle for it to possibly jump the track.

I think a car like this would have a harder time jumping the rail because of more weight is on the second wheel on the right because of the rear position. It will be all that more difficult for the front of the car to lift. The fact that the right wheel is back should be no less effective in keeping the car in it's lane. I am interested to see how it performs time wise. That's assuming Warthog did all the basics right. ;D I hope it does well, but still finishes behind my mods.

if it doesn't run good, you could use it as a back massager..
