The Saleen Cup debuted this past Sunday at PIR during the weekend’s SRO events. While numbers weren’t massive, it was still great to see this much-anticipated cup series come to fruition and prove that it's a really potent chassis. It was a sort of beta-race; while the cars have been developed and tested extensively, there are still some bugs to work out.
We gotta say: these cars are beautiful (especially in classic Saleen livery), and the stats are quite impressive (450 horsepower turbo 4-cylinder strapped to a tube-frame chassis and covered in a carbon fiber body). We hope things work out well for the series, and that they get some great numbers at future events.
