    I want to see this redone with a smoother curvature constant radius ramp and a weighted car. A much faster car. No downforce, just pure mass and horsepower. With a long enough runway starting with a corner, reaching 350kph should be doable.
    I want a smoother ramp to take bounce out and lift off at maximum compression of the springs. Heavy springs. Oh and a landing zone that is not raised above the appproach :-)
