This is the feedback of Rémi Callens (former European Champion), who tested one of the Team Magic E4RS III aluminum prototype chassis, during two rounds of indoor French championship in Modified category, in parallel to other tests made by two other team drivers in France and in Switzerland.

Intro:
Small return on the last two rounds of the winter French Championship. The return to the carpet for E4RS III! The final test of the aluminum chassis!
TEST 1 – Montbrison:
During the first round in Montbrison, on 31 October and 1St November, the circuit has proved to be technical with very tight turns, therefore need to find a fast car, with important turning radius.
Practices were rather promising, the carpet has some grip and multiple settings may be tempted. Unfortunately, at the time of the qualifications I am not able to find a healthy car and fast, it is either one or the other, and 2 tenths of a second by lap at this level is very important. I try so many things during qualifications until I find the right settings in the fifth and final round. It was not counting on a few minor errors on my part that it prevent me from achieving a better position that the 8th place at the start of the finals.
