I'm sure it's a master piece.
The Team Ice car came from RCM, A 9 second newage (and this was about 5 years ago as well AFAIK) dosen't that count?

As a side note,

Love it or hate it GS2 is certainly doing what it was designed to do.
It has a 4 page thread of Subaru owners discussing it and its marketing effect.

Not bad considering the owners don't post on here and it doesn't even have an engine yet. Lol

Mission accomplished, Olly gaining some more silverware should be the easy bit.

I was lucky enough to have a ride in GS1 (three laps with the 3rd lap on pace) and the handling was awesome.

I hate to think what GS2 will be like in the flat kinks / bends!

I suppose your right I guess no one does, but you don't get a budget like that sitting on your ***!

They obviously produce quality good/service in turn people purchase their services which gives them their margin and hey presto it also gives them a budget.

Like I said....top of the game RCM and I've never even used them!

Just to clear things up,the old Gobstopper was a type R with WRC steel rear arches welded in and the front wings are WRC but made in carbon.
Just been chatting to Matt so I thought I'd ask.

I may get shot for saying this but I can't see much difference between them and 22b arches.
