Performance
This car is as fast as a GP2 but costs less than half to buy and run.
It produces 590 bhp in a 550 kg chassis — serious power-to-weight, phenomenal braking, and high-downforce grip.
It’s ideal for a privateer or small team:
✅ Built-in onboard starter — no need for pit crew push starts
✅ Proven reliability — gearbox and systems have been bulletproof
✅ Easy to operate with a laptop and Geartronics calibration support
✅ All consumables readily available (Avon or Pirelli tyres, Riccardo parts, etc.)
Proven and Sorted
This isn’t a museum piece — it’s race-ready and dialled-in.
The car now has 200 km of shakedown and race running, including four race finishes at near-outright lap record pace in Irish FormulaBoss competition.
It’s been thoroughly tested and sorted — ready to go straight into BOSS GP, FormulaBoss Ireland, or European hillclimb events tomorrow.
Why it’s a Great Buy
You’re getting GP2-level performance with World Series reliability and simplicity.
Ricardo gearbox is stronger and less temperamental than the Hewland units used in later cars.
The Nicholson McLaren V8 is one of the most durable high-revving engines ever built — long rebuild intervals, no drama.
Perfect platform for anyone wanting to race at the top level without the €250–300k entry price or running bills of a GP2.
Straightforward to maintain and run by a small, capable team.
Price:
€130,000
Serious buyers only — turnkey, proven, and ready to race.
If you’re looking for proper downforce, noise, and speed without the GP2 headaches, this Dallara T-02 is the sweet spot.
Fuel it, start it, and go chase outright lap records.
