Can the average sportsman driver really feel the difference between generations of race buggies?
I recently talked with Team Associated driver Gabe Boudreau about the differences between my RC8B4 and his newer RC8B4.2.
Gabe said that at his level, he could definitely feel the difference between the two cars on the track—even if they were set up identically. A professional-level driver can pick up on small changes in steering response, stability, weight transfer and how the buggy handles bumps and jumps.
But could an average sportsman driver like me feel those same differences?
