It’s not a big deal to me. But we did just have multiple pages about the Venom. And going back to when the PZero came out. I know that for the vast majority of us, body choice doesn’t have an effect. Maybe a bit of a psychological one. But actual I’ve yet to see. I’ve used 5 bodies on my USGT chassis with no change in lap times.

It's the Audi R8....hence the R in the name. Sure is nice to see all these new GT bodies over the last 3-4 months.

I've been thinking about that. I'm one of those guys who thinks VTA/USGT should be more scale appearing. But if racers want to run these exotic bodies, let them. I don't really see any aerodynamic advantage in these so what the heck. As long as GT bodies don't turn into TC bodies we're fine.

What wheel options do you guys use, unmounted. 24mm is the preferred choice of 26mm which that wheel would stretch the tire. As far as the gravity tire, you have to use the insert that’s provided. I guess that’s a gentlemen’s rule or do they cut your tire open at post tech. I’m just looking for a different look, wheel wise.

I believe most places require the premounted tires to be used. At least in at the tracks in my area. Not sure about others.

It just says where to purchase and what tire. Doesn’t specify what wheel or mandatory they be pre glued. Only specifics is the inserts.

Thanks
