Default RTR RSX finishes (results)

2nd at Sebring. Can we talk about this yet? PD went faster than last year in the DC2 but only came out 15th or so. Pierre sounded like he had high hopes for the DC5. He finished 2nd to Bill Auberlin in a mostly M3 328. Anyone going to Mosport this year??

yeah ... the DC5 was actually doing quite well considering it was the first race of the season.

Both of the HART DC5's are doing well too in the Grand-Am series.

Most tuners are saying it's only a matter of time to figure out the MacPherson(sp?) set-up.

Supposedly KingMotorsports has a Mugen sponsored DC5 that was going to debut at Sebring ... but it wasn't there.

Should be an interesting season for the DC5. I have my doubts about the EP3, though. It needs the better motor ... imo.

I am really looking foward to see how well the DC5 and the EP3 fill the DC2 and EM1 shoes!

The King Motorsports RSX got t-boned in the first practice session of the week by Boris Said's M3. They'll probably have to transplant the engine and suspension to a new chassis cause there was a good amount of frame damage. They didn't even do like 5 laps. It was a sad sight to see that RSX on a flatbed...The paint job was really pretty too.

The EP3 has a RSX-S engine in the World Challenge Touring rulebook. Should be enough power for them to be competitive but I doubt Team SSR has the kind of development into the EP3 as Realtime has in their DC5 so they probably won't be very competitive. I'll bet the RSX has a decent aerodynamic advantage over the EP3 as well.

That was a good race! They said that the RTR guys were having a problem with the I-Vtec in the RSX and were up until 2 A.M. working on it. I'd say they did pretty good.
