"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Well worth a look to see the engineering involved. I sat in it when it was in Upper Hutt a while ago and couldn't get my shoulders below the top. It's a tight squeeze :lol:
