Throughout 2013 we were concentrating on improving the GTR's handling on both road and track. The parts were designed for the GTR to give the driver great steering feel, grip and most importantly confidence behind the wheel.
In October we hired Castle Combe to test our chassis upgrades, inviting along World Touring Car drivers Robb Huff (2012 Champion) and Tom Chilton to give their opinion on the revisions. Alcon also attended to help us evaluate their some of their GTR parts for 2014.
Both Rob and Tom have our Bilstein suspension kit and Alcon brakes on their personal cars which has also given them great day-to-day experience with the GTR. We used two GTRs (thanks Adam!) with the same basic chassis setup, our Bilstein suspension kit and Michelin Super Sport tyres, the major difference being our prototype suspension arms.
Below is the video we produced of the day.
If the embeded video doesn't work here is the YouTube link:
Litchfield GTR Testing With Rob Huff & Tom Chilton At Castle Combe - YouTube
We were thrilled with their response and the technical feedback provided which has allowed us to improve the products further.
Some of the aerial shots give a chance to hear both our 102mm exhaust and Rob's LM700 fitted with the Akrapovic system under load.
With the Litchfield handling components available from £395+vat, we have the options to improve the GTR chassis for both the daily driver and trackday enthusiast.
More information about the individual chassis components can be found on our website
