The car is to race in British GT's GTO class where there is a clause for 2 litre cars to weigh 700Kg 1540lb
The guys that built it swear my car is less than 800Kg, I have a bet, more I don't pay
Wheel are Dymag magnesium 18"X10 at front 18X12 at rear on Dunlop SP Slicks, suspension is by Koni, brakes Alcon, engine inhouse and is just finishing dev work.

Car looks awesome! Like a mini-Viper with those wheels!

Just curious why the windows appear tinted? In Australian CAMS motorsport rules, the application of any form of window tinting is illegal for racing.

Cheers,

Can you give us some clues as to how the weight was reduced so much? Is the structural integrity still there?
Good luck at the races!!!!

Who built the car? Is there a website for this race shop? Also, could you point us to the website for the racing series that you are going to compete in? The car looks great... Good luck, and definitely keep us posted!
