this is from the dude i'm getting my suspension from...
he's the one that sent the twin engine corsa pics...
I hope that my 32 goes according plan, within a months I will have it in the design shop and then we can start to model the racing wide body. Basically, the car is build for open class FIA Track sprint series here in central europe. So we exploited the rulebook and develop a 2000mm wide body and custom suspension, geometry and driveline components respectively. The cage is homologated, all necessary parts are FIA approved, and it should be light, safe and brutal :O) The plan is to get close to 1000hp as possible and reducing the weight to 1100kg. Many ideas go into the build of the chassis and the change in general, and body, roof, interiour, foam filled doors, huge wings and diffusors will be unique in its own way.
It will be thrilling to race this car, competing against Dodge Viper FIA GT Class, Porsche GT3 RSR, Audi TTR DTM, Mercedes CLK DTM, EVO's, and some exots competing in the series. Wow, I do not even know what I am getting myself into. I raced for SEAT Slovakia for a year and finished 3. overall in my class. It was great, although a diesel. Now, with the new chassis, totally stiff, 2cm max damper travel, much less weight and a 700hp engine ( now have a build engine from japan with GT 2540's) it is an all new story to be written.:O)
