DSM should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
We did make up a wheel speed sensor but it's a PI system not stack. at the end of the day they're just transducers that you can get from RS for about £20 which is better than paying about £100. you just have to determine whether it's PNP or NPN (POS/NEG) and solder on the original connection.
The reverse gear thing is a joke. The only reason it's not been changed is because nobody, amongst those who plan and approve the regs. could be bothered to even read through them. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. How else could thye allow engines from certain years but stipulate that any parts in them must be from earlier years, which wouldn't fit, and specify a rear light that is 2-3 times greater in area than anybody used last year or will this year and can't be mounted as per the regs either? (Exactly as they did last year)
Mattray, you're exactly right in your analysis of the mindset of the racer. The big question is why is the BRSCC so much more expensive than the BARC for one?
