The VIR shakedown really brought to light the long legs of the GT3 transmission. With a 3.44 ring and pinion and 0.85 6th gear, I never even made it into 6th gear on the back straight. The back straight at VIR isn’t exactly short, it measures 4000 ft, that’s a good three quarters of a…
The question of the wheels was something that had occupied me since the beginning of this project. I knew that the 1999 GT3 Le Mans entries ran on BBS wheels but I didn’t know the size or model. I consulted as many sources as I could, including the Porsche Archives, BBS and Kerry Morse,…

Of course, all cars that leave the Singer workshop are special, yet this car represents the pinnacle of Singer’s custom program. Every design and engineering decision was made with its namesake – the famous 21 mile stretch of scenic…
“Vic, dear boy, Porsches don’t break.” That was Huschke von Hanstein’s retort when Vic Elford had asked him about spare parts for the 1968 Rallye Monte Carlo. On paper a 2004 GT3 and a 1968 911T rallye car don’t have much in common, but their DNA and spirit is the same: Both cars will run…
