Talking GMG Global Motorsports Group Porsche Racing Team Getting Ready for the 2011 Season!

First thing you notice after entering the shop lobby is a $500,000 997 GT3 RSR.



Panoramic shot of GMG's state-of-the-art 15,000 square feet shop. "The shop is a showroom", says Fabryce Kubyta, the shop's co-founder. Inside, you will find customer's street cars - Porsches, Audis, and Ferraris - getting worked on side by side with ALMS Cup Cars by the very same technicians. With the experience of building, tuning, and racing at the some of the highest levels of motorsports, the level of capability and knowledge here is probably unmatched almost anywhere. Also, interesting fact, Lexus corporate rented out the art Mustang AWD 500SE Chassis Dynamometer w/a sound proof environmental control test cell at GMG for the filming of the LF-A commercial!

Jame Sofrona's 997 GT3 Cup Car getting corner balance. Here, suspension tuning is all about function, not just dumping coilovers at the lowest setting and stiffening up the coilovers at the highest setting.



Older 996 GT3 Cup Cars stored away, probably relegated to club racing duties now.



Another 997 GT3 Cup undergoing a complete overhaul for the new race season with new motor, seats, and wiring



Fresh Seats going into the car



World Challenge 997 GT2



Highly efficient gold foil heat-reflector to provide insulation for the engine compartment

Japanese imports are welcomed here as well, as they have built World Challenge R35 GT-Rs. Can you guys guess what shell this is?



Stitch-welding galore

Good to see how the "cost is no object" car owners do it.

Really surprised they opened their doors. My friend is the tuner there as well as drives for stop-tech.
Surprised you didnt get any shots of their indoor enclosed dynocell.
