The Rigidity Refresher Plan definitely works.

The body warps even when not colliding with anything, especially on bumpy tracks like Sarthe. As a general rule, cars need it after about 400 miles, but I think there are degrees of distortion we are not shown, like tire wear, because every car after every endurance event accepted it and most weren't noticeably impaired.
 
Clearly this will be old news to many, but I recently found this out for myself and found the info in this thread useful, so I've brought it up to the surface for a bit of an airing...

I've been looking for a car for the Nurb 4hr, and tried a used (20,000m) RX-7 I had lying around. On my first attempt it handled appallingly - very unstable under braking, twitchy on the straights. Then I did the refresher plan and the car was transformed 👍 . It's now a winner. Or it would be if only I could find a decent driver...

DON'T EVER GET THE ROLL CAGE!!! It's makes the handling crap! I did it on one of my cars and I regret that, That's why the car is no longer with us...

I disagree, I put a roll cage in every car first and foremost before I ever drive the car. This way I tune the car around it and the car stays more consistant on enduros.

That's a cunning plan! By the sound of things this is good for full race cars, but less good for standard road cars. 👍 Won the 4hr by the way, but only by about a minute (which was the idea).
