To race decently in Formula A or ICA currently you need a minimum of three engine idealy at least 4 which you rent at around £400 each.

To do Snr max its looking like to be the most competitive you will need to buy a new engine as the 06 engines are slighty faster with more bottom end and everytime you send them away they come back even faster. Some people are going to say if you leave them they get quicker and quicker but if they knew anyting about engine tunning this just means they have been badly tunned. They can not run at the front with more than 10 hours on.

The new eninges you are only allowed 2 engines to do 4 days racing and testing on so they have to last. The softer the tyre the better because currently it looks like the KF1 engines are going to be around 1.5 seconds quicker than a current formula A, or at least th pcr engine, which is fastest at recents tests.

The down side is that the engine will not be availabe to hardly anyone until the end of january as this is when the homologation is and even then there is an extension.

And who are Strawberry racing!! They will be one of the last British teams that races abroad to get one, as they are a complete let down with organisation and preperation. If you’d race with them you’d understand
