crossfades should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Surely there's a limit to how much power a two wheel drive platform can utilize. If Tiger runs a 600hp wankel and keeps short shifting it, it seems like a 500hp turbo could be competitive. My impression is that a 500hp non restrictor engine is probably a lot cheaper than the ultra sophisticated engined needed to extract the last few percent from a closed ruleset such as supernational.
He doesn't run a 600hp engine as I commented previously though. More hp can be counterproductive for sure but then you have the rest of the car that you can, for what I know, investment in heavily with little restriction. After all, the supernational class got killed and Open 2WD took its place. What is actually different between them I don't know, so it could just happen all over again.
