REALIST has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

In essence, the 2000 Tatuus is just about the same technology as any of the other single-seaters, be it the new or current Renault or Abarth, but somehow there has been no effort in mass producing the chassis and thus bringing the costs down. If Van Diemen can slash the costs by 50% and make it as fast, then I think it's a very good news to all.
Let's be a little more positive and give them a chance Also I'm pretty sure the championship will be run very, very professionally by MSV.
Where do you get £30k from. It's £30k + VAT plus an engine for at least £5k + VAT each season. A few sets of rims and tyres and it's £45 k minimum and you'll at least double that running the car.

I wonder how many will fall for it?
