The compound on the A050 soft loses a lot of lap time after one or maybe two hot laps, so the top teams are throwing them away with very little run time. It takes a decent amount time before a tire overload failure will happen. Its really the same failure mode as an overloaded truck or a too low of pressures on your road car.

These things are no longer evo's in my opinion. Though they may share the engine and drivetrain layout, the awd system has custom controllers which make it behave like a completely different vehicle, and the suspension geometry is so custom and one-off, it just couldn't compare to a stock armed evo.
That would be cool if they made a kit tho. Widebody kit with the custom suspension arms to increase track width by an entire foot. I could bone to that.

this is the kind of evo we should be more excited about winning:

Ding, ding, ding! 
. I'm actually stoked that teams continue to spend that kind of money to push Evos as they have. At those price points it seems to me that you could take a GT-R which have better aerodynamic shapes OEM than a 4 door rally sedan, bigger engine etc. and get better results.

I was going to say the V Sport evo X. That thing looks amazingly similar to a stock setup, minus the extensive engine work. Its got a dry sump system but other than that the car is still 100% an evo X. Ran 1:34 i believe. 10 seconds of the tilton.

sorry but in my opinion the tilton evo, aside from the aero kit is something that could be built in ones own garage. it doesnt really have anything THAT insane on it. Had an OTS EFR turbo last year, got an indycar spec unit this year.

and i can build an open wheel racecar in my garage. The tilton has nothing in it that makes it an evo. Completely different suspension geometry, widened track width, awd system programming (i'll give you this one that it could go either way). Not to mention not anyone can just slap together the aero that thing has. It takes someone with **** loads of experience and skill to do it right.

it maintains a great majority of the suspension geometry, but has tubular arms up front and OEM rear lca's. look at the article i mentioned previously and you can look at the pics and name all of the off the shelf parts on the car (tubular front subframes are available, uses OTS whiteline sways, MSI billet uprights. NEMO on the other hand was no expenses spared double-A converted etc.
all the motec ACD controllers etc are publicly available, no crazy rear mount radiator or anything. The full chassis is there etc. it has EVERYTHING on it that makes it an evo. Just because you and i cant afford to build it doesnt make it NOT an evo.
hell the aero kit is even relatively simple in the scheme of things. for about $2500 USD (rumored, but read in a few OZ forum posts) you can have andrew brilliant consult on your very own car.

You can build anything with enough time and money so I kinda get where hispanicpanic is coming from. However if any kind of software work is what you are griping about then you'd never cheer for just about any car since even stateside now for grass roots TA table stakes is an ECU reflash and now you can also see the ACD reflashes getting more popular as well.

Yeah. Anyone can build a Tilton evo in their garage. If they got $450k sitting around and 4 years of development. Its far from stock.
