Thunder Arabia
Anyone from the UK entered this series? I read some where that its £750 ish per race meeting. Also what kind of licence is needed to enter?

Im not knocking the Vee at all, infact Im trying to book a few races in the coming weeks (if they have any more availabilities) Though I meant in terms of the Thunder Arabia cars have wings, so from that point of view its a better car for the price no?

purpose. Add a not very handsome body package, thin treaded tyres and you had a pretty ugly, easy but unrewarding to drive package, that served little purpose overall. and it was little wonder the Zip died at a young age! Unless, of course, they have had proper wings added? In which case I withdraw my comments, except the ugly bit! |

Just looked on TA site. Even they seem shy of showing a full picture of the cars but I eventually found one elsewhere.
I'm off to bed now, need to lie down. |

I was never a fan of the Zip, it's a disgusting looking car! So does anyone know about the FBMW wings?

I would think that the FBMW wings create some downforce but the majority is produced from the low ride height, undertray and diffuser which is the same with the FR, certainly until the recent bodywork changes. With the Zip the 'wings' were totally neutral, same profile above and below, nothing more than safety devices. |
