Our lovefest with the Jannarelly JD1 continues today with a look at the car as a hardtop racer versus a street-legal roadster. Similar to how the car would be specced for an FIA GT3 or GT4 race class, this preview is of both the car and the game! RISE: Race The Future is set for release in a few months.

Inside the Dream Factory – McLaren Track22 Product Roadmap

February 13, 2019, 4 pmMarch 15, 2016, 11 am by Tom Burkart

McLaren Automotive is a clear favorite in the supercar world. Just look at the rocket-like launch trajectory of the firm in just six years! It is causing serious pain to rivals Ferrari and Lamborghini, all while delivering great pleasure to its growing owner base. The launches come fast and furious from Woking, however, and it can be confusing. Or, just irritating… depending on how recently your new McLaren was superseded by an even newer, hotter model. So it is good to hear that there is method to the rapid product rollouts, ultra-short model cycles of McLaren Cars. Track22 is what McLaren …

2016 McLaren 570S GT4 and Sprint Unleash Extreme Aero, De-Luxed Cabins

February 13, 2019, 4 pmMarch 15, 2016, 10 am by Tom Burkart

McLaren just revealed its racecar versions of the new 570S: the FIA-approved GT4 model that is ready to go racing worldwide right from the factory. And the real star? The 570S Sprint~! The Sprint is our favorite because it is so pure. The GT4 car’s aero upgrades, de-restricted engine and exhausts, Pirelli slicks and beefed-up race suspension…. but without the GT4’s standard roll cage, fire extinguisher and other mandatory elements. Such things like power restrictors are needed for the GT4 class… but not in the 570S Sprint! That means less weight for trackday individuals versus race teams. Estimated weight …

2016 Porsche CAYMAN GT4 – Latest 30 Action Shots from Algarve Impress, But Car Is Poor Value

February 13, 2019, 4 pmFebruary 9, 2016, 1 pm by Tom Burkart

Reviewing the latest photos and video of the Cayman GT4 is quite perplexing. Who is this $84k machine aimed at?> Perhaps 911 GT3 aspirers, but for half the cash? The 4.2-second sprint to 60, intensely upgraded aero all around, sport exhaust and slammed ride height all point firmly toward the racetrack. But even Porsche knows it has a problem: there is no Cayman badge on the back of the car. Just Porsche and GT4 letters to mark out the model. And that is the crux of it: this is a halo Cayman that hopes to ramp up excitement around the …

2015 KTM X-Bow GTR Is Reskinned and GT4-Ready To Race via Reiter Engineering

February 17, 2019, 7 pmFebruary 17, 2015, 1 pm by Tom Burkart

KTM’s branch-out from its motorcycle core with the X-Bow has created a rapid and fierce bunch of loyalists on and off the racetracks of the world. A simple idea of a carbon-fiber tub, mid-engine dynamics and deconstructed and minimalist panels was such a revolution six years ago — yet today is almost the global supercar template. From the X-Bow — pronounced CrossBow — came the X-Bow GT and the latest one-make race series, increases to 400-plus horsepower, and even a windshield for those days when you can drive without a race helmet. The next step for the X-Bow takes the …
