Plenty of fellow members have already developed their M2 for show and light track use, but with the exception of the team running their's in endurance events in Europe, I have yet to see anyone actively racing here in the USA with this chassis.
I have driven an M235iR on track, at speed as was disapointed with its performance. Yes it is already a developed car, for sure. Although- base price is $85K + and I was told from a few of the guys running in PWC that that did not include the homologated, race spec exhaust (it comes with a factory exhaust system) and requires a ton of suspension components to be changed from standard to spherical, yada yada yada.
Also- have you see those hideous bolt on flares? 
I think this will have its own special place in the world. |
I think people also forget the 235IR is basically a endurance car, designed to run 12-24 hour races affordably (relative) Its sort of like a spec miata in Europe. I don't think it would be very competitive in the classes you want to run. Should be a interesting car, beats seeing another GT4 cayman with aircon. You think the 235IR is odd, try one of those with a factory setup. One minute your falling asleep, the next it will try to kill you.
