Nice one! I saw some Group C Sports cars at the Auto Sport show and almost jizzed my pants.
962c is a very iconic race car!

good stuff a decent company to be in with. Have a nice mix of cars running different series over the uk.
Saw a few running in the 911 poverty cup this year. Shame they use some local retards who give them a load of crap photos for free

yeah that didnt really take off to well this year.
I know a few guys in it, one running a late 996 cup car and another running a 997, using fearnsport iirc.
its funny that most people dont rebuild their cupcars, they just buy new as economically it works out much better value to flog a shell with engine and box just before rebuild, then go new again
Now what im interested in is the 918 RSR

the carrera cup cars have no adjustablility in them at all. from factory. you can't alter camber, springs, dampers. not sure about the supercups. but every year they upgraded the cars with more hp, but more weight. to keep things even.
the sequentials in cup cars have a 30 hour rebuild time on them. so very expensive
