B5 or B5M

[tdi250]

OK, so I'm a F4 standard driver and I'm trying to choose between the B5 or B5M, I race in the fiercely competitive, very well attended mid west region where its mostly astro but with some grass and other slippy bits.

I've heard that the rear motor car is very, very good and i'm wondering if it would be easier to drive for someone of my standard.

Basically I don't get much time for practise or fiddling with the car due to family and career so want something that I can throw down and it'll go well.

So what do people think?

Its a no brainer. B5M and having a mid motored car will give you more all round making you far quicker.

Thanks Welshy. Have you driven either or both?

A rear motor car is better suited to lower grip tracks whereas a mid motored car more towards high grip.

On (non sugared) dirt and sometimes wet tracks the rear motor car may have the edge, but for 99% of the racing we'll do in the mid-west the mid motor option should be better.

A great option if you bought a B4.2 kit and converted it to a C4.2 as you can return to the proved B4 rear motor platform for lower grip situations
