＜1＞ What were your first impressions when you actually ran the car?
All I can say is - Fantastic! It’s the most enjoyable model around. It's just a joy to drive. Fast and powerful.
＜2＞ How does it compare to the 1/8 Inferno?
When I drove this model after my 1/8 machine, I didn't feel much difference between them. Of course its smaller and a 1/8 race layout seems big for it, but I felt no impact of the size on the controllability. It's really stable. I think it has to performance to be a great training model for 1/8 racing.
＜3＞ What did you find interesting about the mechanics?
I was amazed at how everything fits perfectly on the chassis, despite the tight space. But I was really interested in the SIRIO 09 engine. The precision construction was obvious and very exciting to see.
＜4＞ What did you think about the SIRIO engine?
It certainly didn't sound like a 09-class. You could tell straight away that it was much more stable than normal 09-class engines. Also it didn't have that annoying whine, but sounded just a real racing engine. And it had the power and torque to back it up as well. It really is an excellent engine.
＜5＞ How do you think the 09 will be received in your country?
Firstly, its small size makes it ideal for beginners and you can start with a reasonable budget. But it puts out performance that I encourage expert level drivers to try as well. Its strongest points are real engine buggy racing performance at a low cost. I believe these points will draw plenty of attention in Spain.
