      It seems like D-Mac is getting the same thing that Ben Schwarz had.

      Hasselgren doin a V8 is pretty new to me..thats crazy.

      And I thought Ross was building a Rotary Powered 240?

        Ive come to a conclusion that falken will totally fail this year with the exception of taka and JR, and maybe Ross.

        Those are the only guys who are basically coming back in the same cars.

        V8 vert Z... nice way to bite a old team mates setup

        And a sky with more power then the stang.... man they are tripping

          People do what works...its motorsport not a car show...it aint all about originality even though its a nice bonus sometimes.

          A total fail? Really? Come on that's a bit much...even if you are right 3 out of 7 isn't that bad.

          And are you really going to count out Hiro and D-mac? D-mac did get a podium last year. I think he'll be alright in the new car.

              this year WILL be interesting

              the majority of the drivers seem to be driving new cars or the same with a new EXTRA power approach

                With D-Mac basically taking over Ben Schwarz' old car I'm pretty sure they probably have some data that they can use which will give them a boost in the learning curve.

                I think it really just matters on how quickly D-mac's driving style can come to a middle ground with the characteristics of that type of car.

                  How is this any different from every year that 3 or 4 people had new different cars? If they all start with them at the begining of the season, that'll be shocking.

                    Horsepower wins the matches, ladies.

                    In this sport, power conquers all.

                      Last year, Calvin / JR / Dmac / Robbie Nishida were in the same cars as the year before, Taka had a new motor but it was one that had been tested in several cars before, and Ross's car, although it was new, it had a pretty conservative setup.

                      This year, every single car has a new motor this year.

                        Yes, but someone is in a new car every year, I'm not sure why you guys are suprised about it. They're all great drivers.

                            This is just speculation but it could be because they aren't a "series" sponsor this year and rather are just running their team.

                            I know for a fact that Falken has pulled most if not all their event budget (major car shows, etc) because of the ALMS team they're putting together for 2008. I'm just not sure if being a "series" sponsor of Formula D is one of the things that got cut

                              ^they have to be a tire sponsor of the series or else their team couldn't run

                              it's cool to see falken going all-out, this should be interesting
