The Digitech-Magia 1998/99 Car

Side View

Digitech Wireframe This year's new car is an evolution of last year's championship winning model. The most noticable change being the new 'high' nose. We are proud to be using the Mercedes V10 engine again this season. However, this season our new Magia engine research & development unit will be tweaking and enhancing it throughout the season. Hence the engine has been rebadged, Magia.
