Re: Best GT40 replica for racing

I think you have to decide what type of "racing" you wish to participate in and buy or build to suit the REGULATIONS.

For years i have successfully raced FGT40 (a GTD based car but built and modified by me) in nearly a hundred races. Last out two weeks ago where it ran 40 laps at Snetterton as part of a four car team in the 4 hour meeting that had over 30 teams running as well.
Be very aware of the huge mechanical and paintwork wear and tear, as well as the bodywork damage that can occur when making your decision because you will certainly need quick and reliable access to spares and a bank !!!

You pays your money and takes your choice but big bucks do not always equate to the best car for racing. Quality of build and reliability must come before huge horsepower because in my personal racing knowledge i have seen so many fall by the wayside by breaking prematurely or being unreliable.

To finish first, first you have to finish ..........
