KTM X-Bow in GT4?


Well, I guess cutting production of a vehicle in half for the upcoming year doesn't mean you can't go and race! KTM's X-Bow race vehicle, which has been qualifying pretty well in the British GT championship race for this weekend, is moving up a class from GT3 to GT4!!! In GT3, the X-Bow (in on invitation) finished 0.45 seconds behind the MTECH GT3 Ferrari Scuderia and ahead of of the GT4 Ginetta G50 by a consistent and solid 3 seconds! So, for this race, the X-Bow got the bump and is in GT4.

"While we have enjoyed success in the Supersport class, it's not been as popular as the British or European organizers had anticipated. KTM in Austria therefore took the decision to develop a full GT4-specification X-Bow for the 2010 season. The objective for KTM is to position X-Bow as the leading contender in British and European GT4 racing next year, while also being cost-effective," said Jeff Lau, manager of KTM U.K.
