Thanks Roger,

To me this car looks like more of an all rounder, similar to the RB6 than a designated high grip car. People are wondering whether this car will be suited to lower grip surfaces and going off the pictures I would say it would for sure. The car has the motor, while a little further forward than most conventional mid motor's is still at the rear to all extents and purposes with the cells through the middle.
That's what puzzles me? This car from the pictures at least just looks like a very modern conventional mid motor so how is this car being marketed as a "high grip car"? The current crop of designated high grip cars are proper forward motor's, with no geared transmissions to play with giving direct power which is a benefit when the grip is up. Associated have tried to make their B5m more suited to high grip by releasing a 3-gear transmission where this Yokomo continues along the regular path of 4-gear.

This is why I asked, I just can't work out which design feature of this car is supposed to allow this car to be able to lap as quickly and consistently as the likes of the Tm2v2 and KF? If this car can rival these chassis in average hands you may have the perfect all round package but I'm still struggling to see it from the pics and blurb.
