The GT350R-C Race Car

[ArizonaBOSS]

Brakes; these are the Brembo race calipers (4 piston) that allow the "Double Stuff" sized brake pads, no?

You bet.

I was asking another member about the Ford Racing adjustable-ramp limited-slip differential and he pointed me to the article linked below. Looks like that could be a nice improvement over the Torsen. Anyone know much about this?

Link to a spotters guide for tomorrow's race. The GT350's are on page 3.

I note Joey Hand is driving with Scott Pruett in the #1 DP car. Both are from the Sacramento area and I've raced karts against Joey before. Let's just say he was a lot faster than me and leave it at that. :

Scott Maxwell in the #15 car qualified on pole and 16 year old Austin Cindric qualified in 7th about a second behind Maxwell. Pretty impressive for the first time out. You can watch the race live on IMSA.com tomorrow.

@captdistraction

Great pics dude!!!

I wonder if that extra-beefy (and tall) camber plate is to allow for extra damper travel while still keeping the front end relatively low. Also I wonder if they had issues keeping the strut in-place at the tower under heavy cornering loads with only three mounting points. Hrm.

Thanks for sharing Mike! Post away if you got more!

It looks like they are using some pretty big wheel spacers on the front. I guess they would have to because of the smaller wheel and tire set-up. I wonder if that set-up is lighter than a wheel with less backspacing.

Notice the inner fenders are missing. Looks like they were cut out to allow air from the radiator to escape into the wheel well.

More photos, check out the custom fuel cell.

Note that the inner hood has been cut away to fit those monsters....

Check out that carbon fiber caliper cover thing...wonder if that is for burn prevention when working or what? Also triple brake ducts, damn!

I've bee wondering too...my first guess was to prevent airflow through the caliper.

Is the 3rd/smaller duct for something else?

Love the diffuser extension starting at the fuel cell!

Keep the pics coming!....it's making me want to drill out some spot welds. ;D

The GT350 did well on it's first outing with a pole position then 4th and 7th place finishes. Looks like it was a bit wet and I look forward to watching it on TV in a couple of weeks.
