Sweet looking car

[Storbeck]

Not sure if anybody follows the Dsports racing scene, I don't even really, I just read the forums at sportsracer.net because there is content relevent to fsae, they're 1000 bike engined cars weighing ~800lbs. I thought the new Stohr was particularly sexy though.

Sweet eh.

I've always loved CSR and DSR. That's mostly because I love prototype racing. And seeing as how I probably won't be driving in ALMS anytime soon, that's my best shot if I can ever afford it. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The new Stohr just smoked the SCCA Runoffs this weekend. Mark Jaremko from Spokane, WA is pretty much Lee Stohr's "works" driver, and apparently destroyed the rest of the field. The race broadcast will be on SPEED in early December.

That is a sexy car - I love 'baby' prototypes, I did a feature on the fater British version of C sports in the September issue

Yes and I believe the four or five cars behind the new Stohr were Lee Stohr's previous design.

Lee seems to know a thing or too about D sport racing.

That is Lee Stohr's car. I make that at my shop in Scappoose, OR. I am the lead (supervisor) for Lee Stohr cars. we make the front fenders, rear body, center body, top and bottom diffuser, wing endplates, frame panels, side pods, and the rear wing spar.

Wow, that's looks great. I wonder how competitive a normal FSAE car would be against that beast...

[NetKev92]

The FSAE cars have a decent weight advantage in many cases, but that's about all I can see in their favor. The DSR cars ought to walk away in fast courses with their higher power and better aero. I suspect they'd also handle the quicker corners much better with at least some modest downforce. Besides that, the new Stohr is not the guy's first or second try at making a racecar. An FSAE might give the Stohr a real run on an autocross course, but probably no contest at all on a racetrack.

Interestingly enough, a couple I know here who are helping the team out are getting one in the middle of June. I'll post some pics when it comes.
