Towards the end of 2018 BBi Autosport partnered with Speed District and jump started the #RaceBBi track days. We wanted to expand the experience and tailor it to our customers by providing track side support, instruction and hospitality. This enables us to educate our customers on their latest upgrades, build confidence in their vehicles and setups and do so within a safe environment with our technicians and tools on hand.

We started off 2019 with the first RaceBBi track day at Willow Springs Raceway near Rosamond, CA. The main track, Big Willow, is 2.5 miles long with nine turns and significant elevation change. Willow Springs is also the oldest permanent racetrack in the United States, opening in November of 1953. It is now a Historical Point of Interest in California. Fastest time at this track is 1 minute and 6.05 seconds as set by Michael Andretti in a CART Indycar.

The Black Porsche 991.2 GT3RS that we recently finished for this event had barely over 100 miles on the clock. BBi StreetCup spring package updates the spring rates and our Corner Balance and Alignment set it up for the track. Wheels were swapped to the Manthey BBS WEC spec Magnesium wheels, wrapped in the new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Tires resulting in massive grip and weight loss. BBi 3D printed inconel long tube headers with side muffler deletes uncorked the already impressive engine (and reduced weight). To top it all off we loaded a BBi ECU calibration to take advantage of the flow and get a bit more power out of higher octane fuel.

Our next #RaceBBi event will be held at Buttonwillow Raceway on 2/8/19. Please check out the links below to our blog post to see more photos from this day and BBi Society page learn more about future events!!!
