ilovenzv8s should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thanks Promax.

So it may be going back to the old days of weight boxes in the car. Works very well in 2.0L WTCC cars because of the engine size vs HP/Torque. Will have very little effect on the NZV8s.

The weight boxes worked ok when we use to run them but the brakes, tires, suspension, gear boxes were all stressed back then. Given this new package it will have to be a lot of weight to have any effect.

If the cars need to be completed and run (which I assume all will be run to assure absolute parity) then how many cars will be completely finished in time.

Unfortunately Promax, as we both know by the time the first round is here it is too late to do any changes to equalise any parity issues. The governing bodies will do what they always do and say changes cannot be made during the season.

Go back to what I have said before, shame for the likes of Nick Ross, Simon Richards, Dwayne Carter etc etc as these guys will invest a lot of money to go racing without an even playing field.

By a matter of interest how much consultation did the franchisee owners have on the engine that Toyota has been permitted to run?
