You could say, put any car in the right drivers hands and it will win, even the smaller makes. My opinion is that the car has alot of neat features on it that will be interesting to see if they work on uk tracks. As Matt said, it looks like there will be uk support from what the website says, durango uk. I hope so as i have been looking forward to this release since the begining.
Slim cars still work well too, look at robbo in the nats, he has good results with the atomic as have a few others.
I wish them all the best and can't wait to get one, the more cars/brands available the merrier
