What class are they running? The same as the factory team? If so, are they going to suffer the same obstructions that Lou Gigliotti did?

That wing is sweet. Love the aero vents behind the rear wheels too. What kind of lap times is it turning at Sebring?

Too bad the wing isn't an option for a SC757 build! Then you could just send the ZR-1 packing.

It's a GT3 homologated car so either GTD in IMSA or Pirelli World Challenge. I think they're running the full season in PWC now that Cadillac pulled out. Even if they ran in IMSA it will be a different class than the factory team.

They are in the PWC in the GT class, which is GT3 class cars. I read an article from the dailysportscar.com that Callaway can build and sell this cars to private customers for the IMSA GTD class next year.
