Why The G56 GT4 EVO Is The Best All-Round GT4 Car | Ginetta

[@grantleyhughes]

I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time at The Bend in Adelaide with the Ginetta teams looking over the cars. They truly are a lovely thing. I'm getting back on track after a 20 year absence in a lowly Mk1 Focus I built for track days and targa events. I see you made better use of the 1.8 Zetec in the G40. Once I'm ready, I'll hunt down a nice ex GT4 car for the new historic events. I think it's the best package for the money. How supported are the older cars?

Even if I can't drive one in real life, I can't wait to drive this thing in the sim. Ginetta has become a much beloved brand thanks to licensing its name to so many sims. Be it ACC, AMS2, or others, I have grown as accustomed to seeing Ginettas as Porsches, BMWs, and McLarens. I look forward to enjoying the Evo version in the sim!

Just a heads up, Evolution is spelt wrong at 0:09.

Spelled wrongly.

BoP is not wonderful, no. It is ridiculous; blunting the apex of human ingenuity and creativity that can only be fully tested and expressed through outright competition. BoP is the perfect progression of Prog conformity, where all engineering is primarily chained to the goal of stale egalitarianism, and only reliability and superficially distinct forms are left in the workshop or on the drawing board for investigation and manipulation. The sooner apologists face this reality and demand that man's full potential is realised, the sooner man can return to truly unleashing his genius in the manner that ignited the origins of motorsport. The simplest unifying parameters will attract racing competitors. If the parameters established a date, a starting time, a circuit venue, a minimum number of wheels, and a number of laps to be completed, contenders would turn up and race in various contraptions, from milk floats to steam cars, and the victor would have demonstrated to the enthralled crowd the most effective combination of skills in logistics, inventiveness, discipline, strategy and driving. To limit the scope of such an open class, by means of homologation that dictates qualifying criteria, is only worthwhile in so far as it helps to ensure that there is sufficient participation. Beyond that, rules begin to serve the hubris, invidious ideology or ulterior motives of the regulators and their masters, and they become a disservice to teams and spectators who have the purest intent. The purists are switching off, and finding corners of the sport that are in the shadows surrounding centralised media promotion. Only in this shaded space is there the remains of freedom. Only there is some resort from the irrelevance of pernicious political advocacy and regulatory overreach. Sadly, if these spaces were to become popularised, they would suffer the same fate that befell both great Formulas and astrograssroot clubs in recent years. The core problem is not so much that BoP is a nonsense, rather it is that the BoP mindset seems destined to become ubiquitous and inescapable, with no opposition to its exclusive system of obligatory autostrangulation. Enzo, Chapman, and all the other men who blazed a blinding trail with the fastest and most fragile machinery, will be spinning in their graves at unrestricted rpm to witness us restricting everything to its least.
