NICO EXCLUSIVE! 2006 Rolex Grand-Am Series G35!!!

[AZhitman]

A few months ago, I announced that Infiniti would be fielding a car for the 2006 Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series GT division.

zerothread?id=159281

Well, there were some delays and setbacks - It was supposed to debut in Daytona, and then again 3 races into the season...

At present, the team has tested twice with very favorable results. They test again next month and if all goes well.... We will see a G35 in the starting grid for the last two events this year, returning with a full program for 2007!

Team HLM leads the two-car program that brings together Crawford Race Cars for chassis development and Menards Engineering International, who will focus on developing the 4.5 L Infiniti V-8 engine package.

So without further ado, let's see some PICS!!!

















If there are any Grand-Am fans on NICO, we're currently in discussions with HLM to be the home of the Infiniti Grand-Am G35 Fan Club... So let's see if there's any interest!!!

[sensibleS13driver]

[nvrplzd240]

[gabossie]

sign me up! if we are the home of the fan club does that mean we get to drive it?

i'm suprised how stock it looks (on the outside). maybe i'm used to JGTC cars that are dropped so much and have the messed up wheel wells. if that thing was all one color it could pass for a mild show car.

[nsrZ32]

That thing is awesome!!! Can't wait to see it on the track!

[PoorManQ45]

Too bad they didn't use the engine that came in it

could have used it to boost sales, "Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday"

I don't recall, are turbochargers allowed in Grand-Am? If so they'd save alot of money by using the Skyline next year

ALL I have to say is FTA

For those of you who don't know much about these cars and the rules that govern them, I just happen to have a copy of the RULES for the Rolex GT class cars.

sign me up! that is one badass G.

[AZhitman]

Sweet!

I think we definitely need to present a good case for why HLM should find a "home" here...

[hypertek_sideview]

this is an awesome undertaking. hopfully I can see this car ni action next year at some of the races. Refreshing to see a formidable powerplant going in over the VQ. Like the Z delt with in the other classes.

greg, what more reason would HLM need that access to nissan/infinities larges gathering of enthusiats. if i were in their position i would look at the offer as a huge opportunity to get myself out there. there is no case, this is an opportunity they cannot afford to miss.

mmmmmm...forbidden doughnut...

[sttp01]

wow i wish that suspension set up came stock. got to love the shifter also.

[nismofly]

if they do run the last two races as they plan to, those are at infineon raceway (norcal) and the brand new miller motorsports park (SLC)

i know we have plenty of people in norcal, and MoD at least can be our rep in salt lake, if noone else

btw MoD, MMP is *beautiful,* ive been watching it come together for 18 months and they finally had their first race last weekend, with the AMA

i'm suprised how stock it looks (on the outside). maybe i'm used to JGTC cars that are dropped so much and have the messed up wheel wells. if that thing was all one color it could pass for a mild show car.

this is a lot more production based than JGTC (now super GT), these guys will be running against porsche 997 gt3 cup cars, the pontiac gto.r's, bmw m3's, and those 3 rotor rx8's that i know ive seen vids of on here

[yzarcur]

"GO G RACER GO!"

I ALREADY AM A GRAND AM FAN, I WILL BE WATCHING THE POLE POSITION FROM NOW ON.

WE FINALLY GET TO SEE BMW, AUDI AND ALL THOSE OTHERS EAT SOME REAL DUST.

I'll be part of a fan club for that beast, especailly if we can get some swag, lol.

[DriftingJesus]

you get nothing foreigner, gb/2 the forced labor camp

[AZhitman]

FYI, a lot of the parts will be making it to aftermarket pruduction.

[nsrZ32]

If they run at Mid-Ohio I'll get some NICO people together and go down there in support of it.
