So, what do you think they have done to fix the half shaft issue?

 

[John B]

Did they eliminate the supercharger? I thought superchargers were illegal in GT3.

 

[ChipBeck]

Superchargless.

Yeah, the supercharger is gone. Lots of info on this in their website.

Well it looks to me like the SC is still there - but it does look a little different than the standard issue on our cars...

 

[MAD IN NC]

Actually more in line with a big Turbo and EFI!

Love the paint - might put this color on the 69 Mach 1 I'm restoring....

 

[ChipBeck]

In error.

I stand corrected. The information I was quoting from was from the Kuttner-Doran GT-R website. FordGTTV.com --- In Episode 1 of their videos they describe removing the Supercharger to race. They also use a different transmisson. This is different from the Matech car which does use the supercharger and the Ford 330 c.i. motor. I did not know that two different teams were working on Ford GTs to race in GT3 and assumed they were one and the same.

Kave If programing is similar to the last two years, Speed will have tape delays of all of the FIA GT3 races (after NASCAR is finally winding down for the year). They normally run the series in the fall. The GT will obviously make it a much more fun series to watch. If you're still looking for a DVD of this year's races, you might wander thru the FIA website.
