must say back is a little influenced by an enzo..................
looks great from directly behind but too simular to modern lemans cars for my likeing...shame the front as the swiss/swedish car had a nice idea for the front..... but again only personal taste and you did say you wanted feedback..

Good effort though... still think the front too ?????ducks...bill

see you are posting alot recently, certainly trying to promote

good luck

Probably very effective but looks only a Mother (Or owner) could love... and still an Ultima chassis.

Nice to see someone else doing something different though......

I quite like some aspects but as said, the nose and everything forwards of the wheel.......

Looks like a small V8 in there, what are you running Audi?

Also, are those remote reservoirs for the dampers between the chassis rails?

Good effort on the weight of the body.

And..... what's the hole in the passenger side roof for?

you are correct. it is a dry break refuelling system.
we had to put a 120 Liter Fuel Cell on the passenger place to run the car in endurance races in cechz championship!
the place for the cell was very good as we have reached now a 50/50 weight distribution.

engine: we run a v8 brodix chevy alloy engine, 6998 ccm, fuel injected, motec controlled

I see you have no silencers! That must be LOUD! Out of interest, what sort of noise levels are you getting? My engine is similar spec 434ci. Always fancied a silencer diverter valve (for off road use of course!)

Nice to see something different. Well done.

I like it, Grasser, although the front is a little duck-shaped smile. If it works better than the original, then it's great.

I was looking through your website 2 days ago. Pretty impressive. Keep up the good work!

thank you daniel for the compliments!

yep it works. on the Pannonia ring we had a Ultima GTR with 640 HP driving: Best Time 2.10.6
We did last September with this car a 1.50,6 !

Looks like the Duck is Quick ;-) .... maybe we name it Racing Duck GT1 ? As anybody names our car a Duck ,... smile

Agreed, I like it. Looks like you have extensivly modified the rear frame to allow fitting the rear diffuser. Any photos of the chassis modifications that you made?

Thanks very much for taking the time to post the photos.
