The story and development:
My brother bought this car from the UK last autumn. The car is built as a LMP3 car. A prototype racecar with maximum capacity of 2 liters. The car has been raced in the UK for two seasons and been a test/training car for a V de V UK endurance team last season.
The most of the bodywork has been dismantled in need of some TLC both fiberglass and paint wise this winter. It has turned from dark blue to white. It has also some new mechanical parts like a new wiring loom and and other misc parts. New floors have also been made. The car is now nearing it's first test, and both drivers (my brother and I) are eager to finally try this out. 14th of june will be the day
Our first race will be in late June, a 1 hour race with change of driver, in a newly founded Danish class for prototypes. There are numerous classes that we can participate in Europe and UK, especially the V de V series, which is an endurance series with 2, 3 and 6 hour races. We will not attend any of the European races this season, but it is truly a dream to participate in some, maybe next season. It is a challenge to drive something like this, and to attend a 6 hour race needs training. So it would be plain stupid to enter one now in the first season, with no training or knowledge of the car.
We have a Facebook group where you can follow the little we will do this season. It's mixed Norwegian and English language, but if many of you guys in here join, we will make it pure English! Ernestus Endurance Racing | Facebook
I know many of you ucp'ers have already joined, welcome to you who haven't
Will update what happens in here as well, but there will be more activity on the FB page, maybe during races/training etc. Now for some shots. It's not decorated yet, but I think that will be solved before first race.. More photos in the facebook group!
