but your saying its all new, so I'm guessing its based on the new M3 V8, which I'm told is much lighter than the previous V8, by about 30 Kg I think......which is a step in the right direction, as the old BMW V8 was very heavy.......will be interesting to see whos doing it!

T2M was using the Mader V8 back down to 3.4 liters before they dropped out of the series. They were way off the pace.
Kruse used a normal Judd XV.
