Jaguar XKR GT3

[zebedee]

Don't you just love Ford? No sooner have they put Aston Martin up for sale that they approve the XKR for GT3 racing to go up against the DBRS9. Admittedly, its not a factory backed effort (yet) but I'm sure they will be watching with a lot of interest. If the Evo road test of the XKR is anything to go by, it is a pretty well engineered piece of kit in road trim, so hopefully that will translate to success on the race track (still don't like the bonnet vents though)

Not seen anything other than this post but how much on Alan Lloyd being the money man behind this?

BANG ON

That man has done more to keep Jaguar a racing mark across the world than the fortune Ford spent on its F1 programme or any other individual.

I shall have to have a little Google.

I know some people behind this, they will make it a success

The Mosler will be comming in next year, almost in GT2 spec, so it is going to be very fast! As we won this year with Porsche, they are going to put an effort behind it and develop the 997 a bit to be more compeditive!

There are a lot of now proven cars in this class e.g. Viper, Porsche, F430 (getting a performance break), Aston, the Ascaris...so anyone bringing a new car is going to have to have it really sorted out of the box. Or use the first year as a learning year in Brit GT before trying to move to FIA GT3 as Lotus/Cadena did last year.

It will be interesting to see how the SK does.
