Fastd

We've run many Race Track around the country and the times are the tale-tale difference in all cars. It actually requires 3 segments ...The Driver/ The Car/ Preparation of the Car & Crew.

KMP259's times have been much faster then the GT-40's and Daytona's, infact we have been running competitive times with the SCCA GT-2 Cars. Although KMP259 is classified as a GT-1 car.... it is not competitive in the GT-1 Class as they are specific built cars and are very quick, and very expensive.

The tracks we run are Road America .... which is a High HP track and tough on brakes and Gateway International which is a Handling track that requires better handling characteristics and Autobahn and it as well is a half and half HP/Handling track.

Anybody can hop in a car and drive around a track.... but as I said the Vehicle has to be prepared to do that specific track and the Driver has to know that track and then the Preparation has to be tuned to that track. Obviously we are very thought out prior to going to a track, but that is what keeps us Safe and Safety is our main concern as we are running at speeds in excess of 186 mph. things happen fast so now you see why we are serious.

Here's a couple of photo's of KMP259 at a test session last year.
