Yeah, but don't forget they're still racing the R53's. Looks like they haven't moved to the R56's yet.

Gone are the days of the JCW Challenge cars being road cars with safety mods. That's a purpose built race car with stripped interior, carbon fibre door inserts, full rear diffuser. It's getting a long way away from the road car mechanically.

BTW how did you come across the pics?

Thanks for the pics.

Can you believe the racecar doesn't have climate control?!

Haha! I can't remember the actual value but I didn't tick that box on mine cause I read that it added 30 kg!

Now if only I can find a way to lose this "spare tyre"...
