We automotive enthusiasts have been reading his articles for years, Mike Speck, long time senior editor for Modified Luxury Exotics and Modified magazines, lives in Arizona. He is an instructor at the Bondurant School of High Performance Racing. He is friends with the owners of Evolution MotorSports vis-a-vie, a key part of the Gumpert Racing launch. Mike is helping the Gumpert Racing team develop the Gumpert Experience. That is the soon to be announced program where you fly your G4 into Scottsdale Airpark and spend a day learning to drive the Gumpert apollo before you configure the one you're going to buy from Gumpert Racing. Then, when your car arrives, you take a refresher course in YOUR apollo and then it is shipped to your home or home track!! Can you feel the itch???


In this video, Mike takes a few laps in the apollo before the sun sets and Bondo has to crank up their Kart evening... which is a lot of fun if you haven't been, but, when you're rushing seat time in the apollo, that always sucks, agreed?

Thanks to Mike Speck for always being ready to test and shake out the legs of the apollo or any of the EVOMS or Gumpert Racing projects for that matter...

Here's some awesome pics from Redline MotorSports, Geri Amani

"Keep your hands and feet inside the apollo at all times!"

"Mike, are those sandals race cert?"

Last one for today...

Our VIP Photog, Geri Amani of Redline AutoSports, getting a hot lap from another VIP on a different day of a different month, and that will be a completely different post... Thanks for the great shots Geri! Check out Geri's work at: Redlign Autosports

Dig the music? They are nephews of an EVOMS customer. Check out their page and give them a shout! TIEKEN

Hey, that is the first time in my life I used "vis-a-vie"... still sounds stupid! Next time, I'll work in "Ergo"... Is that French too!? Nah... probably Latin... anyway...

Au'voir!

NIce stuff. The Gumpert can also run on bioethanol?

Great stuff. I dont know if a Gumpert could be made to fit my 6'1" 215 lb frame

Well, if you're 6.1, you'll fit better than I. I'm 6.0.99999 and ~250 and I can squeeze. Darren Law is about 6.3" and he drove the tires off...

As for biofuels... yeah, I'm going to have to call Mr. Gore and get back to you on that!

No answer at the Noble Peace Prize office for Mr. Gore. I'll keep ringing... in the mean time, we'll looking for 120 octane.

I have to say out of all the cars I've been in, this is one of my favourites. Sitting low to the ground it give you a lot of feedback about what's going on around the track. Under acceleration the car simply MOVES; like a 700hp shifter kart

I would trade my Spec Miata for this ride any day...but who wouldn't!?
