I used three different bodies at AY's (4) race series. I TQ'ed and won race one with a Tamiya EBBRO 350R. Race two I used the Tamiya Subaru. Qualified second and won the race. And yesterday tried a Cadillac body with the HPI wing. I TQ'ed and won as well with that. So I don't think it really matters what body I use. You don't have to feel sorry for me. You've only beat me once out of countless races. Can't wait to race you again. Lol

I'm also aware what the PFM-10 is supposed to look like.. But looking like a McLaren shouldn't make it legal when the Raikiri which also looks like some sort of car is not.

Kevin K- I read your answer to why the Raikari isn't legal. Thanks for explaining, but I have to ask you.
1) just like the PF10- all bodies get their inspiration from a real car. The Raikari may not be a real car like the PF10. And Tamiya for the sake of being sued will not mention what car it was made after. But this body is in the same predicament as the PF10 and I hope that the powers to be will reconsider making this body USGT legal
2) my other comment is that it was already legal before. Shouldn't any body that was made legal. Stay legal?

2...I dont recall the Raikari ever being on our list as approved once we made our list. I can go through our revisions on our list but I do not remember ever adding it to the list. Before that it was legal before the list then it falls into a category with a bunch of other bodies that are no longer on our list.
In the end you can always talk to your track and see if you can race the body that you like thats not on the list. We dont have a USGT police force out there to stop these sort of things....if we did maybe we might save some horse beatings...lol

1...The PFM-10 is named as such for licencing reasons...much like the MX-Stang is named that way from McAllister. We get it and thats why these bodies are legal. The Raikari is not based off a real car it has some likeness to some super cars but its not modeled after 1 car like the PFM-10 and MX-Stang are.
