Yeah! What Mike said! Also, take a look at the Speed World Challenge Touring Car results from last year.

2003 Results

You'll notice that there were 6 race wins for FWD cars (nissan sentra se-r, mazda protege, and acura rsx) and there were 4 race wins for RWD cars (BMW). The rules are written to make these cars equal, but the similarities in prep level are shocking. Notice also that the FWD cars don't suffer much from the standing starts we do.

Thats cheating - those teams get the most money thrown at them <wink>

It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.
