Apparently this year the new NGT cars will be louder and faster than last year, by quite a margin. can't wait for it to kick off.
Sorry, but no.The NGTC cars performance will be pegged to that of the remaining S2000 cars during the transition period. 2013 springs to mind - I may be wrong.
TBH I was at Brands at the end of last year and the NGTC car being demonstrated sounded like a tractor - quite 'loud' but a very flat exhaust note, and low revving too.

Yes they will be slower but, it's all been done in a bid to bring costs down, which will hopefully tempt the big manufacturers back into the sport & hopefully bring back the door handle to door handle racing!

The new cars wont be that much slower, I expect them to be in the midfield and may be fighting further up the field towards the end of the season when theyve had some development!
I will be going to Thruxton, though if I can I want to attend more rounds this year at Brands and Silverstone!

Early testing this year suggests that one of my customers has got quite a bit more power than last year, and more noise. Granted it may not be a very nice noise, and I agree that TOCA will probably tweek things to try and keep everyone happy, but I am looking forward to it nonetheless.The NGTC cars performance will be pegged to that of the remaining S2000 cars during the transition period. 2013 springs to mind - I may be wrong.
