R8Talkers MNGolfer, Harrison, Merrill and Mr. & Mrs. Desperado spent a couple of very pleasant and informative hours today at Global Motorsport Group. Our host Fabryce was incredibly gracious and showed us all around their very impressive facility, and he was extremely patient in answering all of our questions. We owe him a huge R8Talk THANK YOU! We were joined on the tour by Andy(?) whose beautiful Gallardo was in their shop getting new rubber installed.
While it appears the majority of the current projects at GMG Racing revolve around designing, building, and supporting Porsche race cars for various teams running in all the major road racing series, it turns out that Fabryce is a huge Audi fan with extensive experience with the marque clear back to the early coupe quattros. His daily driver S4 was the first thing we saw even before entering the facility. Fabryce showed us two unique Audi project cars in the shop; one was a completed engine transplant project on an A4 Avant making it into an S4 Avant (the black car in the video posted on 2/20), and the other was a restoration/update in progress on an older Audi racing coupe (the adjacent race car with the red rear end in the video posted on 2/20). Plus there is an impressive array of customer Audi photos on their website.
Suffice it to say that GMG "gets it" when it comes to Audi and the unique place they hold in the motorsports world.
I didn't take nearly enough photos. Hopefully some of the other guys can add a few.
