Dentsport+Kognition = Nürburgring!!!
We recently put a 78" wing package together for our new dealer in Sweden for their Ultima GTR. Which is preparing to make an attempt in the next few weeks at Nürburgring for the production car lap record. To make a long story short, they emailed me for a good competent fabricator here that could fly over and pick up where their last guy left off. I don't know the details of what happened with the last fab guy. But i contacted two people that i knew could likely do the job with the same urgency as if it were their own track car they were prepping. Bill over at DSG was my top choice. So he is there this week getting it done. He is staying in a Boeing 747 converted into a hostel, which looks pretty damn nice. I am sure he will fill us in when he returns. I will update this thread as often as i get news and images back from Bill. I do not have alot of info on the car at the moment, but i will post or Bill will if he gets time. He is there for about 10 days. Here are some shots of the car from today.

that car is going to be so sick. Bill is the right guy to send. As an aside.. Me being a pilot, and seeing that 747 makes me want to go to sweden just to see it, and see my family.
and drink beer

That Ultima is gonna smash on the Nürburgring! Especially with a TT LS motor making well over a Grand, and a load of Grip. Suscribed. Can't wait to see the Updates!

I don't know the qualifications required that makes a car a production car. But i assume it starts with it being street registered and have some kind of volume production requirement. This car is street registered in Sweden. The Radical, which is also a British built car like the Ultima, currently holds the lap record for a production car at the ring.

Here is a 4am update. I am just finishing up Chris Rado's backup wings for Road Atlanta and Sebring, and got this from Alx in Sweden. Looks like Red Bull has signed on as the primary sponsor.

That is a nice looking car for real.
It's too bad that carbon wheel maker (Dymag UK) went under last year. Rado told me that he bought 14K worth of them and never got them. They just took his money. |
