I had no clue what I was watching as I was in and out of the hot rod garage.

One road course race with Jack Roush JR. Had a pace car, a Red & White Ford GT which caught my eye.

Later I caught the last 3 laps of the V-8 Supercar Race and saw lots of coverage on the Matech GT which finished 2nd and the comentators were raving about its performance and saying if it had not started 22nd or had some pit stop trouble they certainly would have won. Another GT finished in the top 5 as well.

So cool seeing our cars performing all over as if they were still being produced today. Shows they are timeless cars...as if we didn't know that already. :thumbsup

Maybe someone here knows what races they were or can post up video links.

Hi,

The Matech (not Maytech) cars were racing both yesterday and Saturday at the Algarve circuit in Portugal for round 7 of the FIA GT1 World Championship. In car 5, we had Thomas Mutsch and Richard Westbrook, and in car 6 we had Neel Jani and Nicolas Prost. Our customer team, MarcVDS Racing were in car 40 (Bas Leinders and Maxime Martin) and car 41 (Renaud Kuppens and Marcus Palttala).

You can watch the whole race here on our website, with some great in car footage of Thomas and Richard finishing in 2nd place, just 1.5 seconds behind the Maserati.

The race with the Red pace car I think was the Grand Am race at Miller Motorsports Park
