[Vince H]

Larry Holt confirmed this weekend that the RSR mid engine placement is a "No waiver" design. Apparently they argued a very liberal interpretation of the rule and won.

Sparco is bringing me all of the gear tomorrow morning to photograph and get an explainer on the details. I didn't quite catch it when I was at the show but they had

• Gloves
• Shoes
• Harnesses
• Helmet
• Race Suit
• CAD rear trunk luggage bag
• Large leather luggage bag

I want to say I heard either $6500 or $7500 depending on which bag you got, but don't quote me on that. All of the stuff can be embroidered with either your name or serial and I think the trunk bag is constructed using the interior materials of your vehicle spec. The stuff can only be ordered by the original owner of the car and is verified through the Concierge. If you're feeling like you need to take a trip, they will laser measure you for the race suit in Torino.

Right on! Definitely want this.

^^^ Darn, there is more money spent.....

 

[Awsum GT]

I am in for sure as well!

Vince, you know wearing a helmet will mess up your hair. Better order a matching Sparco hairbrush and comb at the same time. You might order a Sparco toothbrush at the same time and get matching colors. Or just keep the helmet on all the time and we won't have to look at you. Your buddy, Dr. Frank.

To add to DBK's post. They said the vin/ badge number would be added to the suit, Helmet and the bag as part of the package . The Safety harnesses webbing would be available in three colors, Black, Blue and Red .

Added bonus, Hans width belts.

very nice gear.

 

[Simon]

That is quite the 28 minute maker over!

The bag perched on the couch is designed to fit in the car or is it a regular travel bag?

Thanks
Simon

 

[dbk]

Regular travel bag compartmentalized for all the gear. Made of the same materials as your interior selection. Will have pics up later today.

And some of us thought the New GT was expensive. I also argued about the price of the Car Cover?
