Brion Dials in Dark Horse Racing’s Trans Am Coupe

Posted on March 11, 2025 by in What's New

Brion’s Factory Five Type 65 Coupe hit the track last week at Road Atlanta proving its performance capabilities during testing.

Brion Gluck put the Dark Horse Racing Factory Five Type 65 Coupe-R to the test at Road Atlanta last weekend, dialing in the car for this month’s Trans Am Series race (March 21-23).

With a neutral handling balance and confidence-inspiring control, Brion found the Type 65R easier to drive at high speeds than the GTM. Lap times hit the low 1:30s, but expectations are lower. Brion had fun during testing, but can’t wait to race!

Factory Five’s Type 65 Coupe isn’t just a stunning tribute to racing history—it’s a track-ready machine. Check out the in-car footage of Brion putting the car through its paces!
