With a relatively short startup period for Tropic Fever
Racing, the team had to work quickly on the new cardesign, in
order to run a full testing program for the first season. With
the data The Fever Racing Organisation gathered last season with
Jungle Fever Racing, a design was made that differs slightly from
the JFR design. This was needed because the Prosche boxermotor
has a very different form than the Mitsubishi V10 JFR uses. The
team has tested the car in public for the first time at Montreal
recently.
