Count me in on that season-finale of the JGTC. Gotta check into getting tickets...
Also noticed something...
"And also, please note that most of the parts are not able to be installed into the normal 968 other than the rear fenders and side sills(or side step, side skirt other people call)"
The bottom of their sides-skirts start at the bottom of the door. About 5-6" to the bottom of skirt, so it's at about the bottom of the car's body itself. So this 968 has been lowered like 6" from stock, which matches the amount the rear wheel-arch has been raised to meet the fold in the fender... No wonder they had to install a new suspension.. Double-wishbone front & rear...drool....

I was about to complain that the link didn't work, but they I realized this thread is over 2 years old.
Can anyone post a picture of what that super 968 looked like??

Here's everything I could find from google:
Spec List
Arktech 968 Body Kit
Apparently the car didn't do too well in JGTC as it was being beat by some 5-6 seconds by some Gt300 Mr2 Spyders, and over more than one race. Yes, I'm bored.

Thanks for all the pics and info! It is a really cool looking car, but I can see how it could be totally unrelated to a real 968. Incidentally those look like 993 headlights.

Yep, they are 993 headlights. Apparently Arktech's dry CF fenders on the link in my previous post (not the pictured ones on the race car) are designed in such a way that they allow you to mount 993 headlights.

It looks like there are two different cars:
1) the white fenders
a) white fenders with 3 air foils
b) white fenders with 2 air foils
2) black fenders
I like the white fenders the best out of the two.
Is this the last time a 924 model was used in a major racing event?
