Next stop for Ford GT in GT3: Monza

[conundrum]

I was surprised the Ford GT could win on a tight city course with its long wheel base. Further, the rain couldn't have helped the drivers put down the power.

Anybody else think Monza is a track where the Ford GT should shine?

I think the rain and the Pace car helped at Bucharest with good track position and a little luck. Monza will be a very fast race, weather permiting, and both drivers were concerned that they needed more HP to hold off competion. Matech knows how to race and I feel that they will be ready. It's really great seeing the GTs compete and when the year is over I believe we'll be suprised by the results.......GO BLU:thumbsup

Need groupie gear!!

Hey, I can't properly cheer on the Ford GT team without a poster and a T-shirt. Might even need a jacket. Is anybody selling Ford GT3 racing stuff??

It should be a bit tough to win at Monza since currently the GT is down on power compared to the Vipers and Z06s.

The guys at GTTV (Kutter-Doran) had some marketing stuff.

GT3 cars are mostly stock with low tech mods to keep the cost down. I couldn't find any info on our BELOVED FGT GT3 but here's some info on the Dodge Viper

and the Corvette Z06

Does anyone know if they are racing with the super charger or did they swap to turbos? I coulld not find any specs on the Matech site.

I contacted the team about wearables and here is the reply I got, some neat pictures on this site:-
Dear Mr. Bonyhadi,

As we are a quite young team and our priority for the time being is to make
the cars run (and possibly win), we did not yet have the time to produce any
merchandising items. We will however remedy to this in the course of the
summer. Meanwhile you can find some pictures free of rights on the following

Yours Sincerely,

MATECH RACING TEAM
SWITZERLAND
