      That weekend we had 80kph headwinds on the main straight so top speed was quite low, around 190ish. We’re normally higher than that.

    • @nikolaosfrench7332
      @nikolaosfrench7332 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are more or less competitive with the 4 Cylinder F3 cars from the 2010s, if I, in my Hyper Racer, qualified at the recent Formula 3 round at Winton, I would have been 5th out of 13 or however many cars they had. Same with Radical SR3s, depending on the day or the driver and which track you’re at it’s more or less the same. We make a LOT more aero drag than both an F3 and a radical so we suffer on the higher speed tracks. An SR8 however just has so much more power than us we would definitely struggle to keep up in a Hyper Racer.

      You're not the first to say that, but I totally disagree. Just like how a sequential and three pedals make the V8 Supercars a unique and exciting car to race, having the shifter there makes the X1 even more fun to fling around. it also keeps the car light, simple and easy to fix.
