Of cause I know, been watching in uk for couple season

That's why I'm saying, even team dynamic work their ass out to win the race
Honda involvement? Not much
Same apply on proton

FYI, not every btcc race car are ngtc car yet

I'm found it surprise when u guy compare this btcc spec gen2 with the ride on Malaysia road
What should use r3 bumper etc, it's a joke

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

yup..same goes to s2000 spec. (yep BTCC also allow s2000 spec car to compete if i remember reading the regulation correctly)

well if satria neo proved to be reliable and more competetive i believe more and more race team would keen to use proton chasis as their base car for racing in the future...

p/s:probably the team have to stick with standard showroom appearance to make it as close as production car?

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

looks like our sole proton in BTCC gaining experience..currently consistent midfielder...they got new look too..much better than earlier version
