Nobody disclose their true hp, so it based on cosworth 2014 engine that never raced. I believe about 100 hp more in race trim, about 950 in qualy mode

It's important to mention that GP3 has steel HALO as opposed to F1 and GP2 using titanium systems which means that in GP3 you have up to 50+ kilos almost on top of the car which hurts CoG massively.

50 kg for the F3 halo? I seriously doubt that. RaceCar Engineering gives the F3 weight as 13.5 kg and 9 kg for the F1 halo. It's not solid metal you know.
