This was the first I heard of it too. They didn't have much about it. There
is to be more later. Frankly, I don't think you can get a Sprite truly "race
ready" for 8k.
I read with interest their comparison between FV and Sprite as I race both.
I agree with their figures on the FV, but I don't think you can race prep a
Sprite with important things like a fuel cell and a fire system for their
estimate.
If I had to have only one, it would be the Vee because of simplicity and
ease of taking it to a race by yourself.
