Gantech Racing's Big Picture People Car 33 returned to the track at Winton Raceway on the 18th of July for testing in preparation for its return to Mount Panorama in November 2011. The first outing for the car since its new engine fitted and tuned by Corsa Specialised Vehicles (CSV) provided a simple shake down for driver and car. Although the cold winter's day provided a damp track for testing, all signs were very positive and the car was visibly quick. As well as the new engine, the car was sporting a new four inch single configuration exhaust system custom made by CSV which has helped the car achieve well in excess of 350kw at the wheels and around 900nm of torque.

Gantech Racing will next be at Phillip Island Race Circuit on August 12th, where both cars 33 and 34 will be participating in the John Bowe Driving High Performance Day.
