Lol, maybe it was to stop people from resting their drinks on there. 
Just knowing that it's there waiting for next season should be enough for some restless nights sleep.

Looks nice Duke – what are you going to do with it (what type of events)?

The front has dzus fasteners, but the dots on the rear fender are rivets.
No specific events planned yet. The main plan is just to go around different tracks using as little time as possible

David, you are a master googler! That picture is from a race track 2 hours south of Stockholm called Mantorp, and probably from an endurance race.

That's indeed the car
Here's a little more info about the car.
The suspension setup, the double A-arms and rear setup, is designed by the one of the best companies in Scandinavia that designs and builds high end race cars with unlimited budgets.
The same company has designed the complete platform for Volvo's winning race car in the highest form av racing in Sweden, they've designed a new Global Touring Car platform for Mercedes, they build cars for WTCC etc.
This car has been run in Endurance racing with 240 hp and 205 R-spec tires. Even with those limitations it has been very, very fast. So with the Green Hunter-engine and more tire it should be insane.
Quick go-through of the specs:
* 996 Cup rear suspension
* Raised gearbox, 968 6-speed with custom axels
* Double A-arms up front
* Öhlins 3-way suspension
* Knife/blade style sway bars with custom mounting points
* Custom uprights
* Suspension designed and built for 50 mm ride height with correct angles. Look at the fenders with raised wheel openings..
* Floor mounted pedals with brake balance bar
* Custom wide body based on GT-Racing. Pretty much glass fiber and carbon fiber everywhere.
* Widened rear inner wheel wells
* 993TT brakes with AP-racing discs up front, 996 Turbo rear
* Electrical servo assist
* Electrical fire extinguisher
* Driver position moved back
* Full cage with all suspension mounts tied in.
* Air jacks
* All under body stuff removed
* 1020-1050 kg with everything but driver
* Plastic screens all around
* Fuel cell with quick fuelling
* Custom carbon dash
* AIM dash display with GPS etc.
* Flat underbody - no exhaust hanging down - with a large diffuser at the rear.
* Oil cooler for the gearbox with separate external oil pump
I have probably missed a lot but that's the main stuff. I'm very happy to have bought this car, especially since it has costed more than 6 figure $ to build.
