    A bit too long to translate completely, but I can translate small bits if anyone needs specifics.. Apparently it's a one make series though - only one approved chassis, that they require not be used in any other class or type of racing. Looks like it'll be run a bit like a pro series, and racing the car anywhere else automatically kicks you out of the pro series. Jeez, lighten up a bit guys!

    What about that rear suspension? Not zero-roll and I don't see a z-bar...

    The rules say they're doing their own independent rear suspension (coil overs..) with optional anti roll bar or Z bar. Hmmm...

    I wonder how they handle...

    Z-bar and zero-roll are both well developed ways of dealing with the swing-axle's inherent problems. This arrangement is unfamiliar (to me), however.

    Thoughts anyone.
