No doubt Exotek made a great body that will probably be a beast for handling. But it does not look like that R8.. Front nose / splitter, the beginning of the front fenders, roof line, rear window line and rear bumper portion look a lot different. Again I know making it work is one thing, but making it look closer to the real deal is another. At this point I've come to accept USGT is turning into stock more and more. Happy Racing all

Looks like an R8 enough to me.....No Usgt body is identically proportional to the real car they replicate: it's just another reason for those who got beat to complain....

What happened to this class? That exotek body looks absolutely nothing like the R8, if you want a body that looks like the R8 go buy the Tamiya

Get real, Bert. Nobody says "I lost because my body doesn't look accurate enough".

Not accurate enough = illegal = Complainant got beat badly !!! I guess we are discovering which new "series" all the complainants will participate in, but they will still find a way to complain for having lost again.....Peace.....

It's not a performance thing in my mind, winning / losing doesn't matter to me, just seems the spirit of USGT is getting lost, but i'm also one that thinks flames and tattoo paint jobs shouldn't be in F1 or USGT either.

I agree that USGT may have lost its spirit a little bit , This last years round of motor wars killed it for me during the outdoor season. I ran VTA and a 21.5 spec class during the summer . Now at the carpet track I race at USGT is nearly dead ( at least right now). There has been a resurgence of TC classes , 21.5 spec, 13.5 spec and Mod . I have to say I like the TC 21.5 class better then USGT (at least right now ), Less Drama.

If it's approved, it's legal. You don't get to claim it's illegal just because you don't like the look of it. Unless you're robk.

I think at the local level the club needs to form their own “class”. A real GT class, corvette, Mustang, Porsche, Ferrari, production based and raced.

At the local level clubs already can and do override the approved body list, there's no need for yet another class.
