RFR F1000 - sold

[JRO183]

Up for sale 2015 RFR F1000 car, the factory-works car run by J.R. Osbourne during the course of the 2015 season.

Brief History : Comprehensive development by J.R.O & the factory during the course of the 2014 season led to a win at the 2014 SCCA Runoffs at Laguna Seca. With that success, the decision was made to continue development on a new Ralph Firman Racing F1000 car for the 2015 season, led by the factory works team alongside J.R.O, the pilot and development driver. A brand new car was set into production by the factory in England in the 1st quarter of the 2015 year. Three challenging goals were set out for the 2015 season : advance car development, win the US Formula 1000 Championship, and win the prestigious SCCA runoffs a second year in a row. After endless hours put forth by the entire team all three goals were achieved with great success. This car is now being offered for sale to the general market.

Hate to see you retire JR. However I understand that all great things eventually have to end and that the rest of life CALLS VERY HARD. Congrats on all you have accomplished. Proud to know you and to call you friend.

Hey JR, it was great racing with you the last few years. I hope you dont stay away to long since i only have a couple of good years left myself. I retired 30 years ago but somehow got sucked back in for a longer 2nd stint than the first one....Cheers, Jeremy

Thanks for the memories J.R.O. "dude can put a skate board on the front row".

In my 4th decade of SCCA racing and I believe I've retired 3 or 4 times now. Going to stick it out a few more years. Mid-Ohio and Indy are going to be epic.

Price reduction : Updated in AD listing.

The finest RFR F1000 on the planet - this car truly is race ready in all respects and has a proven track record and race winning pedigree to prove it.

Just needs a new home & driver for the 2016 season!

All setup sheets are provided with the car including our special Mid-Ohio setup, where the runoffs will be for the 2016 season finale.

Special RFR Factory incentivised price drop - Updated AD listing with special price.

In an effort to get the car out on track running at events this 2016 calendar year, and not just sitting in my garage collecting dust, the RFR factory is incentivizing the deal with a bottom line price figure.

What did you think of the Quantum dampers?

[Jnovak]

Someone got a great race car!

[JRO183]

I was very impressed with the dampers. They are double adjustable and take a 2" spring which makes the complete unit light and compact. Had no leakage issue all season. I would have no problem recommending them.

We use the same quantum dampers on the JDR F1000 cars. I think they are the best option available.
