Default Some interesting 2003 SPEED World Challenge news

Racefans,

Looks like King Motorsports will be running in the 2003 SPEED World Challenge. Bob Endicott of grassroots fame will be the driver. The racecar of choice? Not an ITR, but a RSX Type S.

You can check out the entire 2003 SWC entry list here

Check out entry number 31 . I wonder if that will be a new Si?

cheers,

I have a feeling it's their old project car. Last time I was out there they saidthey were turning it into a race car



That would be pretty cool to see the new Si race here in the states

Because the S2K would get owned by 911's, Vettes, and RS4's...

Since when do 911, Vettes, and RS4's run in the SVWC Touring Class?

I was referring to the GT class b/c if some team entered an S2K in the World Challenge it would be put into the GT class b/c it's a sports car and therefore it would get owned...

There are always several Vettes running in GT. Maybe this will ring a bell:

OH OK!

I usually watch the SVWC Touring Car races only so I wasn't too familiar with the GT class.

It's all a business. You think Acura would back them if they still used the ITR's? They have to use the current cars for marketing sake.

Like in most sports though, don't believe the stickers....I would guess there is as many JDM ITR(or RSX-R or whatever you want to call it) parts on those cars as the rules will permit though.

We used to do the same thing when I was racing mountain bikes...heh heh...sponsored by one company but used anothers(albeit with blacked out logo's or new stickers on it) because it worked better.
