They will race this car as a Koenigsegg works car. Christian von Koenigsegg himself will be one of the drivers.

To comply with FIA GT1 series regulations, Koenigsegg were forced to reduce the output of its 806hp CCX to the tune of 600hp. To do this, engineers removed the standard car’s superchargers but bored out the 4.7L V8 engine to 5.0L. Labeled the CCGT, the new race car also undercuts the FIA’s minimum weight restrictions by 100kg thanks to its already super-light structure. Finally, further development of the car’s aerodynamic package was required due to its short overhangs, which are actually worse for generating downforce.
Koenigsegg have also developed a bio fuel powered CCXR with even more performance than the standard CCX. The burning of ethanol in biofuel has the positive side effect of cooling the combustion chambers. This combined with a higher octane rating provides the enviro-friendly supercar with 1018hp at 7200rpm and peak torque of 1060Nm at 6100rpm, making it the first homologated car currently in production to reach over 1000hp.
Previous customers will be able to have their CCXs converted by the factory to accept the biofuel option and reap the performance and environmental gains as well.

Maybe they've found their true calling. I'm not entirely sure how well they'll do, but I reckon they could be competitive.

Surely, this must be the first instance of a race car having less horsepower than the road car it's based off of!!!
