[digger321b]

thereason they don't us the centre nut is because the WTCC do not do pit stops, and they coats a lot more

[Picies22]

its a holden cruze rebadged and different front aero, glad to see the euros havent thought of our centre nut idea for the wheels yet

[andrewt191]

are they going to bring the Cruze to the BTCC?

[RioRup]

Possibly in 2010

[julosx]

I guess they're pretty similar to the VX Racing Vauxhalls.

[RioRup]

Hi, actually they are completey different having been designed and prepared by RML exclusively for Chevrolet.

[keviiinn]

the race car maintains the front wheel drive?

[RioRup]

Yes still front wheel drive, with a 6 speed sequential gearbox

[keviiinn]

that is amazing how this is a FWD car and competes with RWD BMWs, and wins!

[AccordGTR]

@keviiinn RWD for touring cars is obsolete. 2.0L or 250hp and below, FWD is more efficient in getting power to the ground. FWD is the thing now for touring car racing.

[klipsch2008]

what engine is in that car?

[RioRup]

The engine is a 2 litre GM based engine developed by RML Engines

[hondamomo]

[RioRup]
