Is it just me or is the BMW running launch control?!

Remember the rear-wheel-drive cars' turbo-boost is pegged back so they don't have any launch/start advantage over the front-wheel-drive cars. So maybe it's down to the driver?

The BMWs had an "aggressive" set of limits on their first gear ratio and boost limits, but these got softened (either last season or this season)

Seems the new junior series will have the historic ‘Chevron’ marque attached to it:

The Ginetta was a purpose built race car, which was RWD, fairly basic design (which keeps things cheapish) with a low power NA engine. From what I can see, the new junior car appears to be a purpose built race car, which is RWD with a low power 1800cc NA engine. As apposed to something like the Fiestas which are typically converted road cars. |

The new cars will be more similar to the Ginetta Junior than the Fiestas or Saxos.
My guess is that they will all use the same shell to keep it simple, most similar to the T-cars championship from years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BME7NLtbJE8&t=798s Very interested to see what the costs are like, it will be more expensive than Fiestas/Saxos, but if they can make it cheaper than the Ginettas, it could do very well. I'm just hoping they don't overdo the aero, if the cars can't follow closely then it will just be yet another boring support race. |
