Maybe I shouldn't comment on this and some may think i'm starting trouble but sometimes I just have to say what I think.


Why is Orion selling IB3800's if Oscar is saying that they will run GP. I know that SMC will not sell cells it has no intentions of using.

As far as Vegas goes Orion drivers did real well by winning 3 classes and in those 3 classes IB came in second which is not bad. Now one of those racers went to the ROAR Nats and won with GP3300s when that was the only legal cell. So are these guys winning because of battery or is it because they have great skills and are well prepared ?

Team Associated showed up with GP3700's in Vegas and switched to IB3800s because of the superior performance of the IBs. The Trinity drivers also decided to run EPIC3800/IB3800. Based from this either Orion had no IB3800s to use or they simply have special GP cells which is possible because i'm sure that GP will eventually have something new and competitive.
