Some new spec series cars coming for 2013

Some new series spec cars for this post, which includes the new Auto GP and GP3 2013 race cars.

AutoGP World Series launched the car last week (31/8/12). And essentially, the up-to-date Auto GP race car is basically the old A1GP race car (from 2005 the Lola B05/52, which they had race in Auto GP World Series for the last four seasons, so really an evolution of the Lola B05/52 ) for the 2013 AutoGP World Series season. But, the updated car will have the same Zytek 3.4-litre V8 unit producing around 520-550 bhp and updated side-pods and front and rear aerodynamics. Which, series organisers expect the updated aerodynamics will improved the car lap times by around 1.5 seconds.



Meanwhile, the next-generation GP3 car was launched at Monza on Thursday (6/9/12) for the 2013 GP3 season. The Dallara GP3/13 race car uses the same monocoque as the Dallara GP3/10, which means only a new nose, sidepods and engine cover and engine for next season. As for the engine, the new 2.0 litre normally-aspirated Renault V6 will replace Renault 2.0 litre inline 4 turbo going from 280 bhp to 400 bhp for next season. Which means the car will go at least three seconds faster according to the GP3 Series organisers.



End of post for now. New post soon. That is all. Bye.
