I appreciate the advice, ive just fixed the tires and im currently looking into the handling since i havent tested the car much at all since it was posted (long story short i made an error with the engine power and weight so i had to redesign both the engine and the frame last minute). Im limited in regards to engine power output since the rules specify a max of 200hp and 250nm of torque so i matched my engine power exactly to that, no more no less. As for going with a V8 it mostly came down to sound since i felt that a V6 would be pretty boring.
There seems to be a bit of an issue with the steering or something setup related, for wheel users like myself the force feedback is inverted so the car tries its hardest to pull the wheel away from center. other than that it looks and sounds amazing
