hi ,
i hope you can help. If you own or service a race car you can!  It will
only trake 10 mins, honest!

 I am a student Product deisgn Engineering at strathclyde uni in
glasgow. IFor my final year project i am designing suspension for a
single seater race car.
As part of my market research i  have  a few easy questions. I would
really really appreciate it if you could take the time to answer them.
Thanks!!
