These are GT3 cars racing a 6 Hour at The Ring. They are racing the GP course. We race the GP course and The NS "The Green Hell" for 24 Hours. This will give you some idea as to why we race and why we're making our car easily convertible from road to race and back to road by an owner.




Enjoy

It's hard to understand that all this human an financial investment is done only to built a car for a race like 24 h of Nurburing where competition is low level due to the lake of other hight budget competitors ( mostly private ones ??)
Team manufacturers to compete as Audi Porsche or watever well known one's
Challenge was much more significant to compare all this tecnology and efforts to hight professionally well known teams at Le mans Or any LMES serie ; setting up acar to compete with those teams was probably too much?????

Are they any FIA crash test and all sort of homolgation following rules followed and planned??? if not it's really only a piece of art and no more

Once upon a time I know some "poor team" LOL that having similar budget where able to win Le mans !!!! Hals they didn't have similar budget inevested only human brain and hard worker tecnicians

We've passed all FIA crash tests and are an FIA constructor who has won an FIA World Championship. Not too bad for a privateer. Compared to Le Mans the 24 Hours of Nurburgring is a MUCH more difficult endurance race with many HUGE factory teams competing. Next year several new factory teams will be there as well.

OK .. then ... congratulations and hope to watch you some day racing at Le Mans Track

 

[Jim Glickenhaus]

Going together.

Very Very nice engineering on your tub !

I do like the location of front radiators and also the way you decided to built front and rear "popping out " semi structure
Specially the rear one that gives a very strong aspect to the chassis ; beside the fact it will be no so easy to insert engine and gear box into that frame
But as known in a long distance car engine and gearbox have to be enought strong to last the race !!
Only small issue will be how long it will take to the team to change those in beetwen Qualification practice and race ? Do you plan to unbolt the rear frame then, to have more access ?

Apologise for so many question but you know ... for a retired old LM pit "crocodile" it's very nice to watch how evolution and new engineering tecnology in carbon stuff is coming !!!

Our race engine can run 8,000 KLM's and our gearbox much longer at race speeds so we don't have to change between qualifying and race.

Rear CF subframe unbolts with six bolts and all fluid lines are quick disconnect. Engine and gearbox are semi stressed members.

Race engine is very compact and can be removed with gearbox from Carbon fiber subframe in minutes.

Entire rear Carbon Subframe/race engine/race gearbox and suspension can be interchanged with Carbon Fiber Subframe/Road engine/road gearbox and suspension by quickly owner. Same for Road/Race diffuser/wing/seats/rollcage/splitter.

In 2016 our goal is to drive from our factory in Turino in road configuration TTW12 to Le Mans, convert in the to TTV6 race version, race The 24, convert back and drive to Paris for dinner.

I am enjoying the "Madness", albiet, vicariously. Excellent Jim!
