Palatov look like taking up the challenge

this is a single seater designed to maintain a minimum of 500 hp throughout the full course run... it has a paddle operated sequential transmission, weighs bellow 1000 lbs and has all wheel drive... in it's previous lower powered configuration it was only 1.5s off the pace of a formula atlantic car

Weight: 1000 lbs (435 kg)
Engine: Hartley H2 Turbo
HP: 500 hp (throughout full course)
Power to Weight: 700hp/ton
Transmission: Hewland Sequential

the driver will be David Donner... perhaps they could also bring over a more powerful version of their electric racecar conversion
