I don't think "the drive" has ever been in question. But the gearbox issue is of concern for many in the class, trust me on that. Aside from that they are considered, by more than a few, to be very expensive at $78k plus GST, and by the time you buy tyres, pay the Series Registration and entry fees (plus all the other bits we know cost extra money), you are paying quite a bit to run in a series that (correct me if I'm wrong) has at best had nine cars at any one round. There are only five drivers that have competed at all rounds, so it's not exactly well supported is it.

And why you might ask!
