I'm excited to say that I have taken a leap of faith and will be the recipiant of the first Hyro export model (to Australia) and all things going well I will race the car in a little under 2 weeks. I think the Hyro is an excellent effort by a non-corporation and will prove to be a terrific club racer, being both competetive and durable / low maintenance cost.
I will be more than happy to report on my findings once I've had a chance to run and get used to the car.
