Drivers voted with their feet - we had less than handful of Production Class entries throughout the first National season. SuperCup drivers fitted a diff and a few other small items and we all went racing the SuperCup class.
Manufacturers were offering the kits at £99.95 and the diffs and other hop-ups separately. All that has happened now is that the manufacturers have bundled the most common hop-ups in with the standard kit for an all-in price that is lower than buying all the bits separately.
Things move on - now there is a kit with a diff that is race-ready (SS GT S2 kit) and there are Mardave and Zen kits that include diffs and other hop-ups. As more and more people take up GT12 and the volumes go up, expect prices to cone down further and for race-ready cars to be higher specced. HTH  |
The material is s1 not s2
Their is now a 4th car on the market that has carbon parts and a diff for £99, http://www.oreracing.co.uk/ore-chassis-kits
