Having the MZR engine in FC is something that is needed because all the other engine options are engines are out of production and no longer supported by the original manufactures. Going forward these engines will become ever more expensive to race. Right now, the Pinto with an aluminum head and the long rods is the most powerful option for FC. Much like the old Kent engine in FF. But they are both expensive options.
Now the big losers are the other chassis manufacturers. In the past, you could move a car from FF to FC by changing the motor and adding wings. VD is not the only manufacturer of cars that can fit in FC.
In FF, the Honda engine has done a lot for the future of FF. I would like to see the same thing for FC with the MZR engine.
We may have to do some on track testing with different chassis one with the Zetec and the same chassis with a MZR to get the right map for the MXR engine in FC.
