lol, they pulled out about 2/3 of the way through the season because no-one was watching

[Beer Baron]

the wing! my god man the wing! it's huuuge. looks pretty cool though overall. would be nice to pick up some used GT3 R35 shells in 10 years time.....

What a great Tarmac Rally car

[Snowman]

It'd make a better Bathurst 12hr car.

[Beer Baron]

yeah a bit too low with too many breakable aero bits for a tarmac rally car (and most probably illegal in more ways than you could count) but like snowy said, it'd make a kick arse track (circuit) car. here's hoping they don't just crush or museum them all after the series....

[Marlin]

Snowy would still run it. To HELL with the rules..... hey Snowy!

[warps]

Boeing called. They want their wing back.

Haha - well they have also just released the R35 GT-R RC which is the equivanent of the Lambo Super Alphabet.

over 300kgs lighter than stock and way faster. Thats a much better super cheater Targa car! All yours for $300K

Be interesting to see how it goes up against the Ford GT and Vette....go the US iron

for sure! it's definitely the cheater car to have for all your tarmac rally needs. at $300K it's actually not super expensive either. we know what people spend on other cars to get them "tarmac ready" and no doubt it would be a quick thing. 300kg lighter goes a long way to solving one of it's biggest handicaps which is punishing brakes and tyres so hard. hopefully with that much less weight it would use what it has much better. still won't make it sound half as angry as white's super lambo... and I'm all about the sound...

Bunch of new cars due by the start of 2012 - approx 5 at the moment and more teams looking at getting approval for other makes.

No news on anyone looking towards a GTR yet but will be dependent on the price, god knows i have spent the last 2 years trying to sell a pair of Ford GT3's, which we can't move due to the high $ that manufacturer wants for them.

Should be news in the coming months about 2 new models which i have the pleasure of looking after the marketing pre-launch

Will keep and eye out, and an ear close to the ground and if i hear something will let you guys know

If i could get one from free i wouldn't be telling anyone

[Mohsen]

is it going to be running the v8 or a spiced up VR38?

[LSX-438]

is it going to be running the v8 or a spiced up VR38?

FIA GT3 will be a v8 i imagine whereas the RC has VR38.

[Mohsen]

oh sweet. i wish they could use the VR38 in everything.. would be 1991 all over again
