The engine is a maximum spec 2.0i 16v RS2000 engine with big valves and special cams. 280bhp and around 960kg.

@cosminjur Sure its allowed. But it isnt recommended. 1) Safety. The gloves are usually fireproof. 2) The steering wheel on these cars have a layer of suede on it, so if you touch it with your bare hands you're putting greese on it, making it more and more slippery the more you touch it. So basically whats recommended is that while driving a special stage you use your gloves, and while the cars in your garage you place a wheel muff on it :)

He is driving without gloves. Very strange. Is this allowed?
