Default HPI Sprint GTI

With Sprint GTI having a shorter wheelbase than Sprint model can they be raced in same race? and will there be plenty of bodies that fit Sprint GTI?

Thx in advance

From what I can see of HPI's homepage, the Sprint GTI has 237mm wheelbase. The only body I could find was a Citročn Saxo. Yet. Perhaps some more in the future?

Good old TAMIYA, however, has had bodies in this size for ages. Peugeot 206 WRC, Toyota Corolla WRC, Porsche 911 GT1, Porsche 993, and some other bodies that have the correct wheelbase but are too narrow to fit. Mercedes SLK amongst them.
