And one other rule I thought went hand in hand with supersaloons was the spark plug had to be in line with the front axle - however in this instance its a long way behind. Perhaps the engine move is still to happen.
Obby I think this car has a swing beam axle that's raked back so the axle and plug are inline as per the rules.

Awesome great to hear that concern has been alayed.
I heard there was a video of it going around under its own steam, so its debut might not be too far away. Can't wait to see is development over time.
Also - does anyone know what body it will have? Seem to have missed that somewhere. Someone mentioned a standard 10 - not sure what that is, a van? now that would be good to see haha.

Engine is in the right place |

Is the whole pensioners club (woodie and co)going up? And do they get a pensioners discount through the gate. Also will the dog get in free as a seeing eyed companion. Watch out, the blonde one hasn't aged

In this era of super saloons with the pro dirt series and the presentation those teams are putting into there cars, Unfortunately the new 77s has definitely missed the mark in terms of presentation. Let's hope it goes better than at looks!
