They're going to be in for a rough surprise at SLB at COTA. Not only is it an extremely expensive event against lots of guys who have been doing this for a while, not to mention all the overseas teams that are in another league but it's barely a month away and this car's first time ever on track is going to be in two weeks...

being the cars first road course event and with the car not really being built to a specific TA class but more of a jack of all trades car, I'm sure they're not expecting to win... that being said, a lot of people worked on this car have worked on other relatively successful TA cars before, so I'm pretty sure they know what they're in for.




What I really don't get is all the hate for the car...? why is everyone in here so desperate to see it fail?

They just need some SSB upgrades and they'll decimate all

Though I feel like this is the type of car thats using social media to try and get free/cheap stuff. Those are rarely the winning cars since they're just running what they were able to attract and not whats best.

SSB is my side business and parts.

And sounds you're taking things a bit personally defending them. I was referring to more than just them specifically. A lot of big name media teams have somewhat compromised cars because its built for media attention for themselves and partners. Not necessarily the best parts. But that's more of a systemic issue with this prosumer level of racing.

I may or may not have a small problem defending people/things that get hate for no apparent reason... which is basically what I'm doing here. and I wouldn't really call CSF a "media" team. they make and sell heat exchangers... they're promoting their business... its not just some kid with lots of IG followers whoring him/herself for free parts. its like buying an ad in a magazine. as far as not the best parts, sure it might not have the absolute pinnacle of every technology available, but there isn't any fleebay crap on there... as far as I saw its all good quality parts/work. sure some of the designs are very show car like that exhaust, but thats where the jack of all trades comes in, show car is one of the things...
