The ultimate car to PROVE "wastegate chatter" is a bullshit term too, as IIRC they have NO boost control at all, no wastegate.

Boost just rises till the rev limiter.

or until they crash , bloody things are lethal , no handling abilities at all ! I raced at Brands GP about 3 years ago , and 2 of them crashed, one even spun in the pit exit and hit both armcos . Pretty cars in full Gp5 trim tho with the deep spoilers .

Handling is poor on them? Thought would be quite cool.
