Yep been working on the cal/cal validation for the past couple of days during the first shakedown days. TC has had some very positive things to say about it and the engine package is bloody good!

What sort of specs are these? Based on the ST?

Not up on the BTCC rules on engine specs etc....

Icarus

S2000 rules, engine wise 4Cyl with an 8500RPM rev limit and a lot of restrictions on valve train, induction system etc.

i know you said, ive still not forgiven him for that diabolical move at oulton where he wiped out like 6 cars and got points on his race license tbh

We all do silly things as kids. Admittedly that was a proper silly thing though!!

Thank God, another non F1 thread (think we should have the motorsport section description changed as it only mentions F1 and other renault activities only)

The Arena ST certainly looks smart from the pics i've seen, let's hope it does well.

What where the times at Brands Icy?

WTCC looks good this year, news from inside RML is the new Cruze is working as a package better than the lacetti and early rig tests have proven this.
Be nice for Huff / Menu to win the championship for a british team.
Also time to cheer Priaulx on!!
