Welcome to CLC Tech’s in house race car project,
What was initially intended to be a lightly modified road going club car has some what taken a direction that is similar to a Sports Sedan Race car.
The intent is to build a very clean (show car standard) car that will hold its own both on the track in Super Sprints, tarmac rallies and the odd club
car show.
The hope is to further the name of CLC Tech to different fields, give our clients a unique opportunity to ride in a race car & to have fun on the
tracks across Australia.
Thanks to my background as a V8 Supercar/race car mechanic, this has enabled me to undertake this project with confidence and a degree of understanding of what I am getting myself into (I think), never the less, It’s going to be a VERY long, testing & expensive project but rewarding.
Hope you enjoy the updates which I will post with regularity. So please, feel free to forward any comments or questions.
