(Purely imo)

I think the Awesomatix has potential in 13.5.

There are features on the car not used before, if they havn't been used before, part of me thinks there could be some innovation here that makes the car work very well.

I'm not going to bash a car (and especially without using one!), but at the same time a car gets it's merit from its results.

Talking of which, the Russian nationals is an event where (I am led to believe) it has done well, by a sponsored racer who has been lucky enough to attend the world championships.

Maybe because of the language difficulties, the Russian Nationals does not get as much publicity as EU races, just some food for thought there.

There are also the financial implications to developing and releasing a car. And I think this is one of Awesomatix problems right now.

Ok, so these are very loose facts, but time tells a story. And feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

One last thing to think over. A good racer can set any car up well, but if the car isn't engineered properly, the car won't perform well anywhere.
