Nitrocross is launching a new scheme to make its top development class more accessible, starting from the upcoming season in Richmond, VA this September. The NEXT class will be renamed to NEXT evo, featuring the new FC2 single-make platform developed by First Corner. The FC2 promises a horsepower increase to 480, with an additional 70 bhp from a limited-use ‘Nitro Boost’ function, offering on-track performance akin to the old 600 bhp Supercars but at a lower cost. The Cost Contained Racing Plan provides a fully-prepared car, Yokohama racing tires, fuel, two team members, and logistics, all for a set fee of $40,000 per weekend. The FC2 aims to provide a Supercar experience at a reduced cost, making it an attractive option for emerging drivers in the NEXT evo class. Conner Martell, a Lites veteran and FC2 tester, highlights the car’s accessibility and performance, offering an engaging driving experience with its high horsepower and advanced features.
