2015 TA2, GT2, RACE CAR - Howe Racing Enterprises

12/2014
2015 TA2, GT2,
RACE CAR
The Howe road race car was developed to fill a niche for a
real race car with a recognizable look, low operating cost
and maximum performance. The Howe design has been refined and proven with over 80 cars in the European Camaro
Cup / V8 Thunder Car Series since 2010 and nearly 50 in
the USA since 2011. This 2015 version is the culmination
of development with an all star list of drivers including Pete
Halsmer, Cameron Lawrence, Adam Andretti, Tommy Archer,
Nic Jonsson, Tommy Kendall, Wally Dallenbach and Jan
Magnussen. For the U.S. market the cars are configured to
Trans Am 2, GT2 or open specs.
Key Features
Body – All three brands of American muscle cars are represented with a choice of Generation 5 Camaro, Mustang
and Challenger look bodies. The bodies are all fiberglass
with a poly propylene nose available on the Camaro. The
body dimensions are altered from stock only enough to fit a
common chassis. Each model has a common 104” wheelbase and 64” center of tread width. The windows are poly
carbonate with a replaceable tear off film applied to the
windshield. Any chassis can be re branded by changing the
bumper supports and body. Engine may be interchanged for
club racing but are to be matching to meet SCCA rules.
