Default ALMS: Robertson Racing Ford GTR in mid-build

Robertson Racing has posted some pictures of their upcoming ALMS ride, a GT2 class Ford GT-R in mid build. The team's first choice was a Ferrari 430 GT, but being unable to get one, they chose the Doran-built Ford GT-R. They plan to run 1 car, driven by the husband and wife team of Andrea and David Robertson, along with David Murray. A 2nd car, to be piloted by two pro drivers is also in the works.

As you can see, the car still has quite a ways to go in its transformation into a GT2 class race car. It still has its stock supercharged engine which will be replaced by a Yates/Roush sourced Nascar-based V8 for the race car. It's also still running stock brakes, and many other stock components that will be replaced with racing parts by the time the car is completed.

I'm not expecting much from the Robertson's as they're by no means pros and they're going up against the best in the world, but it's great to see people with such a great spirit and passion for sports car racing!
