Unfortunately yes!!! Even Whitfield requested him to upgrade his alloys, didn't do it. And in 4 months, he managed to crash his car 3 times. 3rd one dion the most damage. He went and hit a divider at 140kmph. The chassis had to be set right, i was at Whitefield when his car was being brought into shape.

Prob with uncalculated upsixing is that they do manage to strain the suspenssion setup, which will affect handling. You either get too much understeer or snap oversteer, both bieng very dangerous.
