When?

When is skip barber going to get a newer version of the open wheel car for skip barber? I have seen a video of a prototype of a new skip barber car on youtube.com

Re: When?

My guess is that they already have, and it's called an MX-5.

Re: When?

Yep, I knew what you meant. My comment was another way of saying that I do not think that we will ever see another version of the open-wheel car.

Re: When?

Money wise for racers you don't want Barber to go to a new car that has all the modern wizzy bits and is a tub instead of a tube frame construction with simple parts.

I think the Russell Series is a good example of what can happen when you take a nice entry level series and then add in a car that costs at least 5 times as much. Lots of regulars finding a different place to spend their money.

Re: When?

Its fine by me also. I just here rumors about it,i also saw a prototype in youtube.com it looks cool. i think that they should keep the cars they have now, they are fun and competative enough for me.
