Well the much talked about and little seen Porsche Boxster is done. It was brought to the race to run but with late hour part problems could not run as we wanted. We are planning to run the car for tuning and testing in the next few weeks.
I want to thank all the team members of the Khajavi Motorsports crew for the two weeks of late nights, and full days trying to get her ready! She proudly wears the colors of Inalambrica and Control 1, her Sponsors and thanks them for there help and generosity!
We will be the smallest non-turbo engine running in GT1, wish us luck!
Porsche Boxster - Ghost Rider - Done!

Thank you all for the concern. We have been given a waiver to run the car as an open top car for two reasons: One the car was a convertable originally and two the open top is not considered significant enough to cause an advantage.
We are inspecting the car in two weeks for the safety items but don't see any major issues here as the car is currently with both an SCCA and FIA liscences. I am also personally liscenced in Costa Rica now as well.

Well there`s an obvious aerodynamic advantage without the roof. Also this car will produce a less drag than any other GT.PorscheRacer escribió:Thank you all for the concern.

A friend of mine was thinking about the regulation that says that the spoiler can`t exceed the total height of the car (the roof), Does the scoop height counts?
So many questions.. sorry about that.

We will have cleaner lines than the rest, but if you look in another post I made this afternoon it talks about the obvious disadvantage that the smaller engine cars have in GT1.
This is the smallest engined car in the field without a turbo. I don't care how clean the aerodynamic lines are, a 6000cc engined car is going to be faster on the track than a 3600cc engined car. Perhapts the Supra would like to let me borrow thier 6000cc engine and I will help them cut off thier top :)

that spoiler does not seem to meet any aerodymanics plus, as if it would give any considerable downforce it would not be hold up by those thinny spoiler arms.yoorch escribió:...PorscheRacer escribió:Thank you all for the concern.

perhaps it can be the effect of a hurry to shot the car, but attack angle and dimensions of the spoiler look some lost there.
About Spolier height, thats another lack in our regulations as it is considered only the option for a normal roof car, not a convertible one. Imagine Le Mans LMP1s "with spoilers at the height of the body shell" :) :), that would be an absurd thing.

si, tengo claro eso, pero mi gran duda está en que: GT = turismo y éste parece más un prototipo. Practicamente están adaptando el reglamento entonces?mclaren escribió:that spoiler does not seem to meet any aerodymanics plus, as if it would give any considerable downforce it would not be hold up by those thinny spoiler arms.yoorch escribió:...PorscheRacer escribió:Thank you all for the concern.

El reglamento dice que debe utilizar el mismo body shell, y hay un Porsche convertible, asi que en esta parte no hay nada nuevo. Lo que si esta raro es definir la altura y dimensiones de ese aleron.
Aparte está el asunto de la seguridad, esa estructura en lo personal no me daría nada de confianza, no porque esté mal hecha si no porque habría que ver qué hay debajo y si el arco de vuelco será efectivo ... después de que hemos visto carros de calle y competición encaramados sobre otro, no me gustaría estar en éste en esas condiciones.
Pero en fin, ojalá puedan arreglar lo su participación y que NO llegue a ser otro auto como al Eclipse turbo del otro día.

I can confirm to you all that the spoiler was not bolted onto the car but just resting on the car which might explane its angle.
Also the uprights are one pair of several we have that are at different heights since we are actually not sure if it would be better off being closer to the rear diffuser (which was not brought to the track but is similar to LMP car). LMP cars generally run the rear spoiler low to scavange air from the under body tunnels.
Lastly the strength of two 1/4"/9"/20" 6061 Aluminum plates has been used at Le Mans at 300 KPH and shoud work here too :)

would never think those plates were that rigid + strong
I get used to see 4 thinny plates not 2 of them, every day there is a new thing to see :)
Cheers!

Co relacion a ese Porsche, No le veo nada el cual no pueda participar, abajo hay un ejemplo del |Corvette de LLoyd Keene, era un Turismo Modificado, lo que hoy se le llama GT1, revisado y apto para correr en Centroamerica.
el aleron era bien alto, e inclusive, los alerones de algunos Lamborghinis que corren en la GT1 Masteres sobresalen y pasan la altura del techo del auto.
Saludos.
Yo veria en buena lid ese Porsche , y ojala lo dejen correr.
