Default Herrmann-Racing Focus Endurance Racecar

Hey guys,

we want to introduce ourself. We're a semiprofessional raceteam from germany and driving the 2012 Ford Focus ST with the "old" 2.5l 5pot engine.

Our hometrack is the famous Nuerburgring Nordschleife for the 4h , 6h and 24hours-endurance-races.

the car got a lot of specs... to much for writing

It's our hobby and we're loving it

Just visit our facebookprofile if you "like" http://www.facebook.com/Herrmann.Racing

Looks good, looks like you've taken a lot of inspiration from the Supercopa Seat Leon?

We're using the seat leon supercopa carbonfibre underfloor.

Maybe... The Leon is very similar, but we just bought the bodykit from another german raceteam.
We just took some adjustment in width... 2cm more per side at the rear fenders.

The old bodykit was calcutated and simulated by ourself.


Thanks a lot for your comments

Some pics of the last weekend at the foggy nuerburgring. Race was cancelled due to this bad conditions.
During the 24Hours Race our focus was been placed in the "ring boulevard".
