Shame to hear of the dreaded turbo car heat soak on the Alfa Romeo. 
The race sure was a procession and a clear indication the level of the Australian series is far below that of the TCR World Cup series, which is a worry. |
Megane is using Clio 1.6 block that was enlarged to 1.8, and then they installed crankshaft from Nissan Sentra and they are using turbo from Mercedes A-Class.
Some Frankenstein, but since Renault is dumping all money in stupid F1 project there is nothing to support these cars, they only give Vukovic their blessing
