Default Podium capable SPB class wanted for WGI
I know this is a long shot but if any of you have know of a podium class SPB for rent (meaning the car has turned documented times that would put it on podium) please let me know via pm.

I am running my 991 cup but would like to compete In a larger class too.

Plus, as an upside, all the SPB guys and gals get to make fun at how slow the cup car driver is !!!

Thanks.

If you are really a fast driver, does it matter if the SPB is podium quality or not?
After all, that is the all point of a spec class, all cars are the same..........

Some are more equal than others. I simply want a legal car that has been proven capable by another fast driver.

PCA has been taking data from SPBs for the past several months and all the cars seem surprisingly similar. I think that is why the series is such a success.

I know this is the wrong coast but you may want to contact Dan at Speed Gallery, he seems to put out constant podium cars in POC/PCA

Anders Hainer just set a new Spec Box track record at the 2016 California Festival of Speed in one of Dans cars.

Yes, but do you have any track records with it?
