I spoke with Wolf Henzler who is a factory driver and part of the testing team and he said it was unbelievable to drive. Coming out of corners, you can get on full throttle much earlier. The car is heavier than other cup cars so lap times even out at the end but you have much more control during acceleration. It raced at the 24 hrs of Nurburgring but broke down half way or towards the end. Once they finish development, I doubt they will be allowed to race in a series due to the 4 wheel drive. It would have to be a spec series I would assume or simply in a new class for racing.
