Your Welcome -- in his last race Roger broke a wheel hub in the first lap after Qualifying #1 on the pole running the Quickest time overall in any class - nuts but thats racing .
His next race in Austria is a Championship race - Great if he could take that one .

wow-talk about bad luck!

great shots of the wheel arch, lovely to see the actual engine (well, part of it) behind the suspension (now the wheel is off).

what was it competing against? the 'regular' porsche 911's and challengers? would love to know what upgrades the competitors have (in regarding the original condition of the vehicles, that is).

I'm not that well-informed about the american racing classes, i have some bits and information about the CanAm & TransAm series, but if one were to qualify Roger's T/A into a class (f.e. the LeMans series - I believe there is an American LM series as well?), in what catagory would it fit? GP3 or even GP2???

DO you have some actual specs on Roger's ride? I know some about the engine, but it would be very interesting to see the actual car mass, engine, transmission, braking and suspension values? what does this baby do on the 1/4 mile? 0-60? topspeed?
that way it's easier for me to compare to 'european' """competitors""" over here (and yea, I know Roger's ride is in Europe (Swiss, right?).

Talked to Roger and says its capable of 200 mph - his competition is Historic Porsche - Cobra's etc. but will challenge for times from the newest and best classes - weight is about 3200 lbs .

Thanks Roger would appreciate that - he also mentioned to me that his car will have some good coverage in the magazines over there -- HPP or PE Should do a good article on this T/A - It really deserves it .
