[quote][i]Originally posted by sloefspeed[/i] Note for Tamar : if you feel this post should rather be at the non-official IMCA thread, please feel free to move it to there. Since it is regarding the F430 GT2 body, I posted it on this thread. Thanks in advance! Hi everybody, How far are we right now regarding this body-kit for the F430 GT2? It actually feels to me like I should be building the car right now, but if read correctly, there seems to be not even a trace of the eventual master to mould it from... We are less than 2 months away now from the first race for this brand new EEC and the most represented body in the field is not available yet. As you know, the use of this particular body shell is something which was "imposed" on us by the powers that be, so choosing another body is not really an option, we would have chosen a longtime ago for the 997GT2 or GT3/RSR which are available in a couple of days after ordering them. They might not be that nice and /or accurate, but they are available, and cheap... Please dont get me wrong, I don't want to offend anybody, but I'm not so sure you guys realize that not everyone can spend a couple of days 24/7 in a row building a car in the very last days before a race. Most of us need to do this after the working and housekeeping hours, a couple of evenings a week... Same goes for the very specific decal sets for these cars, I have been assured several times that these would be available largely in time, but so far there doesn't seem to be anything available. I quote JPVR in his reaction (in July 2007...) to my open letter to IMCA "[size=4][i]... and ... found in Germany a specialist who can make for IMCA all necessary decals at reasonable prices. So all FIA GT decals will be available by December. [/i][/size]" Well guys, in case you didn't notice, it is December right now... We all know that a "modified" plastic kit body doesn't stand a chance against the "home brewed" bodies, so if we are supposed to come to these EEC races and make this series a success, everybody would like to do so with a competitive car and bodyshell. If only the lucky few will have access to the Fiber/Carbon/Resin bodies, the interest in this championship will soon drop, and I cannot imagine that this is what we are after, especially at a moment our hobby is attracting new participants all over Europe. So if I may allow myself to ask some concrete questions : -Will there be a F430 GT2 body in short? and when exactly? -Will the decals for these cars be available within a reasonable time-frame? When exactly? I don't expect anyone to materialize the promises made by someone else, but you must admit that NOW is the time to act? -And where should we order these items? CU soon @ the races Very best regards Raymond [/quote]
