Long time since I posted.
I've been at the track 2 times this year so far and managed to set a new track record on both tracks for semi slicks/r-specs.

770 hp, sequential paddle shift gearbox, CFD developed aero, double a-arm front suspension, 996 cup multi link rear suspension, full alu TT etc.

That's awesome! So you just answered my question that you can get 770 horsepower out of I'm guessing a 3 liter engine. Is that a 16 valve head?
What are the statistics on the engine build? Do you think this car would make a good Texas mile car without the aero?

You are always pushing the envelope for our cars! Amazing job! I look forward to following your progress for the rest of the season.

Love the ballast on the front splitter - I'm sure you'll be adding more weight there in future!!!

As much as I miss the 944-bodied days of this beast, I still can't help but love it. Incredible car! I always enjoy the updates on the Facebook page. I could only imagine the time and money that goes into such a build... Keep on pushing the envelope!

Does that car "sway" at all in any turns? It really looks like it does corner on rails.

Congratulations on the latest results Gustaf! Very well deserved after some component disappointments of last season. Especially considering how much time and effort you and your small team have put into the car in the last few months. Outstanding!

Could you do something about those headlights? The wind resistance that little pockets are creating is probably costing you another track record in your class. Or the track record. Can you pass formula 1 cars if in full race mode yet? Could you put eyeballs in the headlight holes for us, just for humor purposes. Thank you.
