2017 FFR#48 Gen3 Daytona Coupe R is For Sale! Street legal race car!
This famous race/street car was featured in Grassroots Motorsports multi-page article December 2017 issue. FFR#48 Gen3 Coupe R was also utilized by Factory Five Racing for aero wind tunnel testing, and shock/suspension testing. The Factory Five Gen3 Daytona Coupe spaceframe chassis is 10 times stiffer than the Gen2 Daytona Coupe, and 5 times stiffer than the FFR Challenge car!
Campaigned in 2017 race season, FFR#48 podium-ed all National Auto Sport Association (NASA) ST2/TT2 races entered, won 5 out of 7 races and finished 3rd in the other two. It was invited to run at the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge 2017 placing the 7th fastest time out of 50 cars with a laptime at VIR of 1:58.985.
Laptimes:
May @ NJMP Lightning laptime – 1:09.249
May @ VIR – 1:58.985
June @ NJMP Thunderbolt laptime – 1:25.515
July @ Pocono Double Infield CCW – 1:33.231
New England Dragway on street tires 12.239 @ 115.47mph
August @ Limerock laptime – 56.313
#48 Gen3 Coupe R was built with the help of The Traveling Builder Mark Dougherty, his son Brendan, Sean Lingle and me, starting Jan 1, 2017 and over 5 build weekends in time to make the March 2017 VIR track day.
On debut, first time on track it lapped VIR 2:00 on used 245/40/17 Hoosier A7 tires, with the brakes or car not sorted fully.
Over the rest of the 2017 season, the car was fully sorted out, and optimized for NASA ST2/TT2 rules. It does over 2G’s in lateral acceleration on race tires, with the top speed of over 150mph. It is well setup and handles neutral to slight under-steer on track. The braking performance is astounding. Setup notes and over 12 years of FFR race car knowledge will be shared with the buyer along with a copy of the race notebook known as ‘the FFR#48 bible’.
This is a serious, multi race winning race/street car and I see no reason why it cannot win at the NASA Nationals 2018 @ Circuits of the Americas (COTA) F1 race track September 2018.
It was driven on the street many times, and most notably to the 2017 Factory Five Open House from NH over 200+ miles round trip with all of the aero bolted on getting many thumbs ups from fellow motorists.
