The mendeola is nice. They are definitely built tough being mainly used offroad. I didn't realize you were the gtm guys. You guys have definitely put a lot of work into that car. Hats off to you. The car is just over 2,000 pounds.

I'm by no means "the guy". Rich & Yvonne, Jim Haussler & Mike Holland are the team principals. I run the pit crew and a few other things.

We are co-developing the road race transmission solution with Mendeola. The GTM is about 700lbs heavier. We started with the Porsche transmissions that Factory Five designed into the original kit. They couldn't take the torque against the grip of racing tires. Once we got the Mendeola, that exposed the weakness of the designed in 1/2-shafts. Solved that with custom Porsche 930 shafts and CV's which will hold a lot more power than we're putting down. That portion of the car is nails now.

It's an evolution. Improving part "a" exposes weaknesses in parts "b" & "c". Fix those and expose 2-3 new ones. Rinse and repeat until you have a car that collects podium finishes in 14 out of 15 races entered and 1st place in 10 out of 15 as we did last year.

Very cool!! please post more pics Thanks

I know you guys have worked very hard on that car so you should be proud of those results! ! Congrats

Very cool. Looks like that thing will be a ton of fun!

Looking forward to seeing this thing out there. Car count is a big factor going forward in WERC. More is better.
