Spare body panels for the car.

The experience of owning a track specific car (along with all the support peripherals/spares etc) seems truly awesome which a very few can pull off!!

Just 1 question though - Does the 458 Challenge (GT racecar) and/or similar cars come with an experienced service support team that preps the car before its taken on the track??

Cheers!

For sure,a car as challenging as this, does need its share of expertise, skilled technicians and support staff not only to prep the car but also for preventive maintenance if any, every time she runs.

And finally .. The first test on the 458 Challenge is on the coming weekend - 10/11. Details being worked out. Also a few lucky guys will get to Sling Shot ( Passenger Seat ) with GS. Watch space for more details.

This car is not meant for just straight line acceleration. The testing is being planned for one of the circuits in India.

All set for the car to go,loader positioned. 458 Challenge testing confirmed this weekend at BIC. All looking forward.

Sorry for jumping the gun, the waiting game has now started spoiling the fun (it rhymed!). I think we’ve had enough and more teasers.

Some proper pics of the car, please?
