I pull every last .1 out of my car and lady year in A3 I was able to surpass his fastest A main time by about a second. This year during the course of practice day his car with no changes other than brushless was almost .7 faster no matter what than my car and if anything my car is a little better than last year. In addition, the only cars to go sub 13 sec laps were all M06s , but those were new to those drivers. I bet with a little setup time they will be untouchable by the fwd cars. This is most likely only relative to high grip surfaces but that's a big gap.
I was wondering why you didn't run Mini. It's no fun having someone run circles around you, and knowing it's the car. All that new-fangled rear-wheel-drive technology is amazing in the right conditions, eh? It's just a matter of time before the rest of the racing world discovers it. Oh, wait a minute...
