Very cool...thanks for the post!

I travel to Jacksonville all the time and stop by the Porsche Brumos dealership to see what race car they have on display. It would be cool to get to tour the race shop though and the museum.

Comany called App Tech...

They used it in Supercup and Carrera Cup Germany but then they had some problems... Right now they´re back to the BBS-wheels.

Wow!! Just incredible, in the Brumos livery. I got to see the real thing last Sunday, at Laguna Seca -- I took some pics near the Corkscrew:

Pretty weird to see how deep in the rear fender the wheels go on the Laguna shots... ?

My guess is that Grand-am allow these cup cars to use the same supension stuff as the RSR thereby allowing to car to sit to RSR level with the same tuneable geometery.

Could be. That's some serious lowering.

I took the first picture above (at speed) right at the exit of the Corkscrew, so there is some serious compression at that point. That is, the cars all squat as the power comes on (downhill). That being said, the car does appear to be lowered a bit. Even when parked, it does look low!
