Hi Everybody
I recently went to see the Spa Six Hour endurance race and for the 500th time I fell in love with the GT40.
So now I have decided to give it a go - sell a couple of classics and see if I can make my dream come true.
But I could do with a little advice. Here is what I want:
Go historic racing in Europe in the FIA classes for <1965 cars.
And my questions/remarks are:

And my questions/remarks are:
- Which is the most correct replica GT40 on market? I have looked at the Superformance GT40 MK1 R and find that very attractive but damned expensive.
- Is there a cheaper alternative - I dont mind assembling a kit, as long as everything is correct. Steel monocoque, suspension, body etc.
- It needs to be so correct that I could have a FIA HTP papers
- I could build my own engine
- But what transaxle is the modern replacement for the original ZF? I assume that there a newer version that replaces it?
