Asked what such a figure would equate to in terms of development and laptime gains, Shovlin said: “From an engineers point of view, day in and day out we’re making decisions of what we don’t do, that are at the orders of one, two or three thousand pounds. That’s a normal part of our jobs. "It’s very difficult to put a lap time on it but the reality is that money buys performance. In terms of an upgrade kit that could easily be a major update kit.
