The GP3 was a huge opportunity to design and build a stunning car. After what they created with the Challenge they have gone backwards by miles in my opinion.

I sort of see where you and the others are coming from Pete but I think it's unfair to call the car a joke. It's a 300bhp supermini with a diff and functional aero.

Its gunna be an absolute weapon on a back road and its gunna be more than capable on track.

The challenge argument doesnt really stand imo. The challenge was a bare bone enthusiast drivers car that isn't and never had been what the gp is. The gp is meant to be the best mini you can buy.

The gp1 got a boost in power some nice recaros, off the shelf suspension, a cool spoiler and came originally on run flats if I'm not mistaken

The gp2 got a minor boost in power some nice recaros, terrible bilstien suspension that was too harsh, a cool spoiler and lasted 5 minutes, it did at least get decent tyres

The gp3 has got a considerable boost in power, nice recaros, suspension mini has guaranteed will last, functional aero, an lsd, bespoke tyres, a cool spoiler and all of the latest digital dash and infotainment screens.
