I was astounded by the difference in performance compared to my old equipment; without changing anything else on the car my lap times immediately improved by an average of 0.25 seconds and I was back on the pace of the front running drivers following a disappointing morning. The existing LRP drivers advised me on which settings and gear ratio to use, and the result was a car that was both fast and nice to drive. The power band has so much more feel than I have been used to; it literally transformed my car! I am now looking forward to running LRP electrics during the summer and into next winters 1/12th scale nationals...” Mark and Chris will now turn their attention towards 1/10th electric touring cars where they will be running LRP and Sanwa products in the 2011 BRCA national series.
