Re: Future Race Series Cars...

Don't race to conclusions. This first prototype is not reflective of the car that might replace the current school and Series car. Much more involved in the decision than Lap time and looks. The new car process is more about standardizing the fleet from school cars to regional race cars to National Cars. Engine mapping can change the HP at each level and wings and tires can be used to change the car's capability at each stage of its use. Early tests are no indication of what the final format will be, except that we're dealing with 21st century technology vs, 1976 tech. Everyone involved is aware that customer cost is an important issue. I'm not divulging any secrets, just trying to calm the excitement that all of us naturally feel about the prospects of a new race car.
