I love the look of this, already approved for gt12. Its turning into british gt, with both gt3 and gt4 shells!

Er.... not approved for GT12 at Nationals... yet. It is in hand, watch this space. Aston shell is approved.

It is a cracker, isn't it. I want one...! :thumbsup:

Looks a lot nicer than the Aston.. the grille is way too tall on that.

Heard a few bad reports about the ginetta shell, mostly on the handling anybody else heard anything or have you got one, I tent to use the ascari only, only 2 aston Martin shell at our club, and must say both handle very well, tempted myself....

I was lucky enough to try some of the first versions of the Ginetta at the AutoSports show (and since then at a couple of local clubs as well).

I really liked the way it handled. The aero balance seems to be biased slightly towards the rear thanks to the wide, flat windscreen. It's small rear wing was just right for the big open track at the AutoSports and a bigger wing suited smaller local tracks. Overall, it gave very similar grip to a Mazda shell - less twitchy than a Lotus and more stable at higher speeds than an Ascari.

Oh, and it looks the dogs dangles too :-)

The first versions are back with Kamtec for some final cosmetic tweaks and it is expected that these will be completed soon.
