Since this thread is about 2wd pan cars, i will also say Garen Is The Man. He and Motonica can help make this class work. I am personally very surprised that this class has not taken the place of buggy based GT. Not to offend anyone, but the buggy based GT class is awkward--big slow lumpy blobs swaying around the track. They turn like the 1964 Impala I had in high school. A very un-athletic thing to witness. From my perspective the 2wd Pan car is very close to the elite 4wd class, and seems to be the obvious starting point for first time racers, and a cool category for nostalgic pan car gurus. Somehow I don't get the reasoning, but GT is popular and people have fun with the class. Oh well.
