Good Morning Acumen Motorsport race fans and supporters: We tested the Acumen Motorsport Porsche 997 GT3 Cup racecar – yes that is a mouthful – for 2 1/2 days from Friday Jan. 6th to Sunday Jan. 8th. The changes we made after the December tire testing resulted in a substantial increase in top end. With the latest taller rear tire, some adjustments were necessary to the rear fenders to keep from tire rubbing. We found we needed a bit more to get the racecar lowered to our targeted spec. This will be done for the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona at the end of the month. Our crew and drivers expect an increase in corner exit speeds that will translate to lower lap times. We skipped the last practice session on Sunday – removed both the engine and transmission and air freighted them to the Porsche rebuild shops – we will have them back in a week and fresh for the race. Hang on – it’s going to be quite a ride!
