spy shots

[86vd]

OK so I have no shots yet, but I just saw the coolest looking new f1000 I've seen yet
the car is being built by philadelphia motor sports and no attention to detail has
been overlooked this car is stunning! and after some testing done early last week
it looks like this car is going to be fast right out of the box.
The guys at philly motor sports did a lot of r&d before they started putting this car
together and it's paid off
If you've been thinking of buying an f1000 (which I now am having seen this car)
wait don't buy one until you've looked at this car
It looks like everything in-place for the car to viewed real soon so you won't have
to wait to long .
however you will be in line behind me!!!!

Usually, a thread entitled "spy shots" actually contains spy shots.

How close is it to this design?:

dirty trick

[racer27]

If the FB is anything like thier FF, it will be impresive....

[86vd]

yeah sorry for the no shot spy shot but I promised these guys I wouldn't
put up any pictures! but I had to tell you something
the computer rendering does not do it justice this thing is hot with extremely
sexy lines, a real clean look with no gimmicky body panels it looks an sounds like a
real race car I'll try and get pics next time!!!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...wow that's one weird looking FF. Hope they leave the sharks teeth off the FB.

Right on, another FB to the ranks.

At least when firman plugged his new car here, he threw us some pictures.

Seeing the 4 lug (Revolution?) wheels makes me wonder if they built it years ago.

[86vd]

The FF they built was a 1 off custom job built to the owners specs
don't worry the FB is a very different beast, pics coming

I understand it's powered by an '08 CBR.
Ssshhh... don't tell anyone where you got these:

[Stan Clayton]

Hmmm...interesting looking rear wing.

[Rick Ross]

.....perhaps this is the Coop's new ride?

[iamuwere]

Hmmm...interesting looking rear wing.

In the second shot, is the upper element collapsing/flexing or just designed that way?

[andyllc]

.....perhaps this is the Coop's new ride?

Possible but I think Coop will "rise again"....



Just speculation

[glenn cooper]

To quote my FBro John Stetcher "Looks pretty bad ass".

Not sayin' he's seen the car, he just talks that way...

(Oh yeah, "FBro"?, Just made that up; I should so be gettin' paid for this stuff...).

I'm hearing rumors this car might be at a race soon. Anyone know where & when?

[Mike B]

I do...

[RussMcB]

I do...

My bad. I guess I didn't word my question very well. I'm not too interested in WHO knows as much as I am which track and event.

The rumor I heard was Rd Atl this weekend. There are 6 FB's pre-registered, but not a Philly Motorsport car.

Then again, they might be going to a west coast race since they are one of the supporting manufacturers of that series.

I was told Pacific Raceway the end of this month....We plan to be there if I can get caught up on jobs that have been backing up.

If you have never raced Pacific, you're in for a real experience. It's a throwback 2.25 mile track from the 1970's with a very, very technical back side, highly challenging (pedal to the floor) sweeper on to the front straight that has 2 flat out kinks and a "carousel" T-2 at the end. Plus a 135 foot elevation change that happens fast down (in to a hairpin with escape road) and a climb back up. Take the escape road and it will cost you 10 to 15 seconds at the Stop Sign once you get there.

Entry list was updated this morning. FB is turning in to a "CAN-AM" challenge!

Belling - Firman - Canada
Obderndorf - Stohr - Canada
Archer - Stohr - Canada

Palmer - Stohr - USA
Pancea - Stohr - USA

Need some more USA cars! No sign of a Philly based car entered, yet.

FB's are in Group 1 which won't be too big. Updated this AM:

FA's - 3
FB's - 5
FM's - 3
C/SR - 1
D/SR - 1

Oberndorf holds that track record in FB at 1:20.51 which he set last year running against Jaremko in the Phoenix and 4 others. But we have some highly experienced and track knowledgable FA's and FM's in the field that are capable of running within 1 to 1.5 seconds of that time. Will take some driving to break away from them. If Rennie Clayton comes up in FA he will add to the over all win challenge holding the FA lap record at 1:18.34.

P.S.
EASE in to getting up to speed in T-5. It has a bad habit of eating formula cars during the Double National. Strickly a track knowledge thing. Tricky corner and you don't want to be at a speed where you are forced to lift at or just after the apex.
