As I said - I was comparing mid motor comp 2wd to mid motor comp 2wd. If you'd like to name some other mid motor 2WD non-conversion comp buggies then we can compare the prices of those. Like I said - I compared it to what I believe Schumacher are aiming at.

With it being a competition buggy, is the price tag very relevant. As long as it's not way over (£400+) then the people who really want one will find the money some way. If people are on a budget then it might not be the way to go (but racing isn't easy on a budget anyway), but people who are racing a lot will be spending more on race fees, petrol and other stuff.

If it is £299 then the street price will be lower - say £265 to £270. But this is all speculation as the price isn't confirmed.

And of course - if it comes out and doesn't do well - it won't sell. If it wins everything then people will buy it.
