The death knell of the DC5's racing reputation was struck when Ichishima publicly referred to the Honda McPherson design as a van chassis.

Spoon and Realtime are racing CL7/CL9 instead of the EP3 and DC5, and I believe that the King Motorsports team are thinking in the same direction, aren't they?

If you bounce an EP3 or DC5 off a gater hard, there's a slip second where you're not sure the car's going to settle itself into heading in the right direction.

This is normal with FF racing with other marques but Honda people are spoiled by the double wishbones of the DC2 and CL7.
