With the new FIA GT1 World Championship nearly upon us, Matech Competition has released this short vid of its fruity-sounding new Ford GT-based racer turning its wheels in anger for the first time in a shakedown test at Ascari.
The new Matech racing car will line up against Aston DBR9s, Chevy Corvettes, Lambo Murcielargos, Maserati MC12s and Nissan GT-Rs when the 'new for 2010' GT1 series kicks off in Yas Marina, UAE in April.
"The car is completely new. Not a single element, be it the engine, the transmission system, the suspension or aerodynamics are the same as those of the Ford GT1 from 2009. The roll-out was very promising, and we are confident with regard the forthcoming season," says Matech of the car's first roll-out.
With cars that look and sound this good, we're really looking forward to the start of this new GT1 season, especially with a round scheduled for Silverstone on May 2nd.
