Sweep factory team driver Reno Savoya was full of praise after the initial test and he attests the body plenty of traction in high speed sweeper sections, and a smooth and stable cornering making the Birdie ideal for open tracks like the World Championship track in Argentina or Cnetic in Indonesia.
