Preparing for full widebody upgrade(the guards will need to be fattened up even more, as well as re-built) flat-bottom conversion and weight reduction:

We should see much improved turn-in and mid corner speed with the wider track. It looks good out on the track, but its definitely unsuitable for street applications(nothing works at the low thresholds you find during street driving; no brakes, suspension doesn't move, tyres don't get warm enough, oil doesn't get hot enough etc)

Race number: 00
Final position: 8/31
Best lap: 1:53
Over last: 1sec.
Honestly, I didn't know what I was bloody doing and ended up in a field chock full of Porsche works race cars. The only ones that could keep up were the GTR's, but the Carrera Cup GT3 of Kane Rose pretty much slaughtered us all LOL.
Fantastic day, and I learned so much about the track.

I don't think you can use it for anything besides a racecar in the US bro. Its LHD. The price(for tradies) is set at 60K with race prep(good for 1 event) full service(engine, drivetrain and diff serviced. Engine is good for another 2 seasons at least since it was recently overhauled. Fresh turbo. Chassis checked, shockers serviced, alignment settings checked) and a set of tyres for wet, qualifying and event(should hold for about 3 events if you store them properly. Used once.) You also get some logistics support from the tuner/engineer(your expense) if he has to go up there for an event or to get the setup right for you.
