Ultima GTR - Goodwood trackday - Part 2

The hot day causes further issues during this great track day at good wood - make sure you watch part 1 first

Sounds like a good old fashion Can Am!

[@donniebaker5984]

when you put a small block configuration of a Can Am engine that were all American muscle car engines but built to nelson racing engine specs as Tom nelson does in L.A.CALF. that put out 2000-2500 horsepower they sound like what they are copied from only about three times more powerful and two times faster than anything ever possibly before

Another great video gents, thank you very much. I think it's fair to say that you both did enjoy the experience despite the heat and the issues. As they say, 'that's motor sport.' It doesn't always go to plan or without any drama's? The positive is that the GTR hasn't suffered any serious damage and with the exception of the tyres, which I'll put down to fair wear and tear, having changed the wheels and tyres, I took the GTR back home via the Silverstone Classic all in one piece. Everyone had a good time, so that's a good result for all. In addition, this was only the third time I've had any issues with the GTR on track. The first being a failed coolant pressure cap and lose exhaust at Silverstone, fixed in the pits. The second, breaking a drive shaft at Goodwood during a competition Sprint - couldn't fix this one! And then what will be remembered as 'Hot Thursday' throwing the drive belt/heat related issues at Goodwood - fixed in the pits. But to be fair to Chris and his jinx, it was 'exceptionally' hot with the air temp at circa 38c and track temp probably well into the high 50's or more. Even in that heat, I was still pushing on in the GTR as I was confident that it would cope and I was there to enjoy myself too! For those of you that are interested, there are more on track videos on KZbin, just search Trevor Willard Racing and enjoy. Thanks again to Chris and Garath, a lot of work has gone into producing these video's which is very much appreciated, well done.

Hi Trevor, Thanks for the comments, it was a really great day, so thank you

VERY nice to see this car being drive like this. Congrats to own and drive this car as a track car, not a show car like most of guys. Most of the videos of Ultimas are very old or slow driven... I REALLY wanna see the 1020 hp version of this car on a track, but NONE down here... You know someone with this version?

[@harveygeorge8957]

That’s my old car I recognise the number plate it was ultimas own car originally. I had it probably 14 years ago.Was great fun it’s good to see it still in service

[@trevorwillardracing6222]

Hi Harvey, my apologies it’s taken so long for me to see your comment. I’d be interested to learn more about your former ownership of my Ultima GTR as I’ve had it for 14 years now. Would you please get in touch either via www.trevorwillardracing.co.uk or my Facebook page/Messenger facebook.com/trevor.willard.14 (send me a friend request). Best regards, Trevor.

You passed a few Ferraris, how long until they cry so much that you get kicked off the track for being too fast?

[@largelarry2126]

That was bas ass and I loved it. I'm in Indianapolis and some years back I sold some vantage Mopar muscle cars and was looking for a GTR but could never find one for sale. I'm 6'4" with only a 32" inseam so I'm not sure I would even fit. Do you know who built the motor for the car and what they used for heads, pistons, cam, intake and so on?

[@lightsuplightsdown3018]

I'll try and get the owner to comment on this, he has made a comment previously, he is Trevor Willard Racing!

[@550LMS]

At 6'10'' I feel your pain. On the Ultima website they said they had 2 6'8'' drivers in one before...I think with the stock seats.

[@trevorwillardracing6222]

Hi Larry, my apologies for not responding much much earlier! I’ve not checked comments via the Light Up Lights Down channel. For your info, this car was factory built and the engine upgraded later with an SBC Knight Race 6.8 Litre dry sump race spec unit. More details and spec can be found on www.trevorwillardracing.co.uk or on my Facebook page (send me a friend request) facebook.com/trevor.willard.14 best regards, Trevor

Great video. It felt as if I was there with you. So what was the problem with the car? After all that, you never told us!
