Remarks – 2008 World Champion Atsushi Hara is running the updated S350 Evo buggy which features a number of small new changes throughout. One of the major changes is the updated drive train with new aluminium front and rear centre shafts and steel drive shafts both which use their LDS (lightweight drive system). To work alongside the new front drive shafts there are new front steering blocks which sport smaller bearings while on the rear there are new aluminium uprights. All the wishbones sport 2 new lower shock mounting holes which when used in those lower positions give the car more traction. Finally there are new shorter larger bore shocks and new lower shock towers front and rear, as well as an updated Falcon bodyshell, the Falcon 2. In terms of setup, compared to his test session at IBR Padova prior to coming to Sicily he is running the car much harder and playing around with tires, having tried HB tires earlier in practice he has settled on Pro-Line Lockdown in X2 compound for now.
