Black Mamba

Moving on from the E46 is not easy: parts are easy to find, reasonably priced and, above all, backed by a wealth of feedback from other track drivers on what works and what doesn't.

This track car is built in a clubsport spirit, with all the comfort needed to drive to the circuit and back home again.

Its Fox Red interior is unique and custom-made; combined with a matching half cage and seat delete, the cabin feels race-ready without being radical.

The 911 GT3 is the common thread of the project, which strikes a balance between a street car and a pure track car, and that sometimes calls for some serious head-scratching.

This shows in the chassis choices: effective, but not extreme.
