Also don't just look at the motor, having a car that has a great suspension and being able to put a good setup on the car is very important. Invest in your brakes and your lap times will drop. Don't mean to preach but also invest in yourself, practice and work with your team to make the car go fast. If you need any help drop me a email. don@texasdrivingexperience.com See you at the track, db  |
Don, I do appreciate your input, but with my experience as a BSR driving instructor over the years, I have found that fewer shifts would be better accomplished with a higher revving motor as has been done with both Ferrari Porsche and BMW. Those makes have done pretty well with that format ,high RPM , good HP, not torque.MHO.
