Hi!
I'm looking into getting a prototype, and trying to understand which ones are competitive and why.
This is sort of the list: Wolf GB08, Norma M20/Nova NP01, Elan DP02.
I'm leaning towards the Wolf because of the 400hp option and the two seater option. But they don't seem to be competitive these days. Neither in P1, nor in Europe on tracks or hillclimbs. Anyone have an explanation? On paper they should be great. Is it just down to the teams running them?
Norma seems to be dominating in Europe and doing well in P1. Elan seems to be great in P1 as well.
Is it the chassis/aero? Given the same power (theoretically), which one would win? Wolf, Norma or Elan, and why?
Wolf seems to have a lot of advantages. There are quite a few of them in the States. Spring Mountain seems to be a convenient home base with regular races, storage, maintenance, etc. A two seater with the 400hp 1.6L sounds.ideal. But trying to understand a lot of things.
-Are the SM versions faster than the CN versions (given same engine)? Better aero or anything?
-Is the 400hp 1.6 allowed at all in P1? Or is it so restricted as to be uncompetitive?
-I assume the 400hp is allowed unrestricted in ASR and NASA SU?
Is one of the makes more reliable than the others?
Appreciate any insights! Thanks!
