It will be interesting to see the effect it has on the C4.1 / S2 Evo.
I'll be very interested to see how that goes.

And Adey, you know my opinion - 3 gear box with external idler gear all the way! Possibly not the 'fastest' on a one lapper but far more stable and consistant... much easier to drive a full race with no mistakes.

The reason I got rid of my C4.1 and went back to my CR2 was because the C4.1 felt wably and unstable - it reminded me of when I tried the 4 geared box in my CR2 last year and I didn't like it. If Jonathon @ AC makes the new S2 Evo available with a 3 gear box and external idler gear I may be interested at trying it again
