Isn't racing inherently a yang thing though? :whistling:

Testing at Winton today, so far 30 laps no issues and sounds glorious. Couldn't have asked for a better start to testing.

*will probably burst into flames now

We're going to test a 8 into 1 exhaust soon as well to further improve the sound. Unfortunately it's going to be hit by noise restrictions at a lot of circuits, it's quite a bit louder than a v8s.

I'm pretty sure you'll hear it from anywhere south of the equator, in fairness :thumbsup:

Is that Airbox actually necessary or just for show? :?

Would look a whole lot better without it imo

funny that in later years they're running without the airbox

Without it, it'd look like just another modern single seater category, imo the airbox screams F5000

Is it quite weak? What's it going to do the first time one of these things goes upside down, crumple or remain strong and the car will be stuck on its side instead of continuing to roll and dissipating the energy? :?
