The workshop was attended work 24 hours of Le Mans with C2 Group one year ago and today is specialized Challenger Ferrari racing cars, Sport Prototypes, Formula 3000 and so on.

The remodeling work took nearly nearly 3 years and now everything is new, or better than new, for example, some suspension components have been redesigned to make them stronger and feet and the pedal before protection has been reconstructed higher (the scope was not to win the world championship!).
