Performance

 

 

This car is as fast as a GP2 but costs less than half to buy and run.

It produces 590 bhp in a 550 kg chassis — serious power-to-weight, phenomenal braking, and high-downforce grip.

 

It’s ideal for a privateer or small team:

βœ… Built-in onboard starter — no need for pit crew push starts

βœ… Proven reliability — gearbox and systems have been bulletproof

βœ… Easy to operate with a laptop and Geartronics calibration support

βœ… All consumables readily available (Avon or Pirelli tyres, Riccardo parts, etc.)

Proven and Sorted

 

 

This isn’t a museum piece — it’s race-ready and dialled-in.

The car now has 200 km of shakedown and race running, including four race finishes at near-outright lap record pace in Irish FormulaBoss competition.

It’s been thoroughly tested and sorted — ready to go straight into BOSS GP, FormulaBoss Ireland, or European hillclimb events tomorrow.

Why it’s a Great Buy

 

 

  • You’re getting GP2-level performance with World Series reliability and simplicity.
  • Ricardo gearbox is stronger and less temperamental than the Hewland units used in later cars.
  • The Nicholson McLaren V8 is one of the most durable high-revving engines ever built — long rebuild intervals, no drama.
  • Perfect platform for anyone wanting to race at the top level without the €250–300k entry price or running bills of a GP2.
  • Straightforward to maintain and run by a small, capable team.
