Gen 3 Coupe Wins! Again!

Posted on June 20, 2017 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

After last month’s Top 10 finish at the Ultimate Track Car Challenge (see “Two under 2:00! Factory Five Rocks UTCC“), Factory Five customer John George scores two podium finishes at last weekend’s NASA-Northeast Races at New Jersey Motorsports Park!

John’s Gen 3 Coupe-R #48 (above) is continuing to run faster and faster.

“The first two wins in the new FFR#48 Daytona Coupe Gen 3 R! This past weekend NASA Northeast racers gathered at NJMP Thunderbolt and had some great racing. Sunday’s race was a very exciting three way battle for the overall lead in the Thunder race group pitting a Mazda RX7 vs C6 Corvette vs FFR Daytona Coupe Gen 3R slicing and dicing through traffic with the FFR Daytona Coupe Gen3R as the victor!” – John George

Check out the in-car video from Sunday’s race.

Congratulations to John George and his team for continuing a very successful 2017 race season in the newest Factory Five!
