This one is new to me, so I asked in the atom 4 owners whatsapp group (which you are welcome to join) and there are some owners who have experienced this on early morning or rainy drives and it cleared up on itself…not to helpfull maybe if you have send the part out allready

I didn't realise the chassis improvements on the 4 had made such a huge difference to the grip of the car, but i see theirs only one second difference between the V8 and the 320hp 4 on the top gear fast lap times. So your definitely right. I cant wait to see a comparisons when top gear get a 4R to ...

If you're worried about fuel consumption, don't ever switch to E85 (high ethanol) fuel. During my first track day at Road Atlanta I was mystified when my Brammo Ecotec started running poorly before the end of a 30 minute session. It's running a 2.8 pulley, 60lb injectors, and HPTuner software. I lo...

Watch this space!

Will there ever be a cheaper alternative set of wings for the 4? For me it doesnt even have to be carbon, I’m happy with a painted set

I have the same use and I was totally surprised by the endless grip of the a052’s compared to the zzr I had on the previous car. Even when cold the front axcle has grip always. I went through one set of rears in 4000km incl 5 trackdays. Also keep an eye out for the nankang cr-s, they look exactly li...

I had them on my 3.5, dont miss them on my 4…much less wind in the cockpit. Dont tend to drive in rain..

Wow thats a big chunk of money

Luckily it has just been serviced by Atom

here's my addition if needed

If you like the pics on zandvoort, I can ask for the versions without the " raw racing shots" logo, I can get those fairly quick

I’ve had the atom 2 and 3.5 with stock seats and tillets in the 3.5 and the seats are like moulded to my body, perfect, even better than the tillets. So yeah, different shapes👌🏻 I cant believe you have less comfort in the 4, have you tried dialing the ohlins down to softest setting? With that settin...

If you have a 4 R on order, the car will be ready by the end of 2024

I wouldnt keep the atom in a moist environment. The rod ends and all kinds of other parts love to rust or get to look oxidated. I need to keep on top of it even on a new car which doesnt see any rain in a heated garage…cant think how it would look after some time outside with all the moist creeping ...

Dont know about Leguna seca, but I was at Laguna seca some years back and it was everything I hoped for and so much more, corckscrew is extremely deep and intens.
So I recommend to do it…cant help with the question though

You can go to minus 40%

What Phil says, this IS accurate by Ariel standards. You can rely on it to say empty every time at this point.
They dont want you to hoon until further than that, I even heard Ariel suggests on track to stay above 25%
