So the GTR Godzilla can blow everyone into the weeds again and they don't have to use the Nissan 'truck' engine anymore.

That then means D4's can race.

So looks like we are going around in circles,back to a sort of old Group A.....

Rear wheel drive only,that cuts out the GTR,unless i suppose they remove a tailshaft.

Back to the glory days,don't worry about the GTR,Nissan already race a RWD in Japan,this will start an argument but the RWD model is faster than the 4WD one,Toyota,Honda etc have tried to ban it as the cars are supposed to be based on road cars but Nissan doesn't have a car to suit so they got an exemption from the governing body to run a modded GTR,the others were fine with it until it started winning. Pat

I think the new rules are going to specify it must be based on a production car, and have back seats.

I hope Jag get involved they'll blow most of the others into the weeds !
And I'll finally have someone to barrack for. !
