If that car is competitive at ALL, it's going to be because of the driver, not the equipment. The head of that team (and I assume lead driver) is Paul Gerrard, whom I have had the pleasure of meeting a couple times. In the original "SuperTuner" Car and Driver challenge, he was the driver of the Autothority Porsche that spanked. He's won ALMS races among other series. He is also BMW North America's lead driving instructor. To top it off, he's a really nice guy, very humble. Anyways, I got to listen to him talk about what was a then-potential USTCC ride that wasn't really up to the task, but had good factory backing, and the rest of the field would be pulled back to its level.
