That's a great thing about GoonCar- unlike the official Skip series- we do all the fun awesome skippy tracks that are a blast to drive (and Zandvoort too)

On horsepower alone the two look to be close. Sprint Car has 820 and the Silver Crown has 819. There's more under the hood difference though, got to be.

This is amazing, from the ring to Comic Sans font. I was content to use the basic iRacing paint setups, but not any more.

Do Phillip Island, it's anti-clockwise so most corners are to the left!
