"The stages have some of the lowest levels
of grip in the season, so we run a soft car
with damper settings not used on other
events - it is quite a specific set-up for GB.
The grip levels can vary quite a bit with the
weather.
Because of the diverse range of surfaces,
and the potential for some to rut, drivers
need to be able to alter the car during the
loop. They can change the ride-height and
suspension settings to suit each stage."
