    My team just took possession of Corvette Daytona Prototype # 004.
    It is a Dallara chassis previously campaigned by Taylor Racing in IMSA w Konica livery.

    Of course this mean we'll need more Bubbles

    Great looking ride. Did it race at COTA in September ? Looks familiar.

    Yes it did race at COTA this year and I think it won. I saw where it was being offered for sale prior to the last race of the year. Did you buy it before or after the race?

    Thanks :)

    They are great investments & great fun too.

    Since I race at FARA & HSR next season I'll likely race the new DP 004 @ FARA & 001 @ HSR.

    If I remember correctly, this was the car that seemed louder than the rest, and really got your attention when it went by.

    Great addition to your team William !

    William - Congrats on the purchase. Do you know where the other chassis went? Think that 003 was updated to more current specifications. I presume that your chassis is not the one the team ran this year in IMSA, right?

    Yes 003 had ceramic brakes & other bits. No idea who bought 003.

    Don't need those as 004 will likely be the fastest car in my series

    Too bad. I have pics from the last Taylor DP outing at Road Atlanta from Petit LeMans that I was going to offer for you to keep with the car's scrapbook.

    Enjoy 004!
