Colin Blowers GTR Racer
Discussion
What do you want to know..... Chassis and suspension was altered alot, as he could not race under the Production class, and so I was told he even gave the new chassis info to the factory hoping they might sell it as an option, so he could race in the lower class as he had to have a 1 minute pit-stop because he was classified as a One-off car...

Need to know what was done to make it handle so well - probably new suspension,inboard shocks with rockers,rigid motor mount with eagle plates, serious stiffening. The aero is a bit of a problem because of road-going clearance. Perhaps the under body clearance could be fixed with a height adjuster similar to RCRs. I'm guessing it's pretty much like a Prosport.PS. When are you going to be flogging your kits?
I loved this time in brit GT's, the ultima, speed12 and saleens were brilliant, i remember at the time looking at colin blowers car and thinking the track looked far wider. here is the spiel from when it was auctioned off
The GT-specification chassis incorporates an FIA-approved roll cage and boasts additional strengthening, revised suspension pick up points with inboard springs and dampers, heavy-duty uprights, 100- litre bag tanks in Kevlar crash-protection boxes and AP brake calipers 6-pot at the front; 4-pot at the rear. Built by Peter Knight, the 6.8 litre Chevrolet V8 engine produces approximately 560bhp (on restrictors) and is equipped with full Motec engine management and data logging systems. This engine is three races old from new, while the latest Quaife six-speed sequential transmission has one competitive outing to its credit.
