Fort Meyers is all about the driver and the car. Motor helps but it doesn't win anything on its own. They all spent so much time off the track that a ten year old OPS could have won with a clean race.
Congrats to Paolo, he deserved it.
Thanks Wingracer. Chassis is very important, but when you have a really good chassis then you NEED more power. Ft Myers needs a lot of torque and mid range, but you don't want to give up top end... I test my 2012 spec engines versus the Virtus and the Virtus had a lot more power, to the point that was able to pull a longer gear ratio. I did several test back to back with the same conditions.
I will personally only run Virtus this year. I have the ability to choose what to run and Virtus for me it's the way to go
