The Mosler Challenge will join the Dutch Supercar Challenge again for 2010. It’s truly an ambitious plan and from the reactions of the drivers it has been an in-stant success!
We at the Dutch Supercar Challenge are continuing to support the Mosler Challenge in 2010. For the fourth season, the success of the Dutch Mosler Challenge continues to build and has sparked interest around the globe, with another racing series planning to start their own Mosler Challenge for 2010. This offers an even larger opportunity for Mosler owners and drivers to promote themselves and their cars.
The Dutch Supercar Challenge is the biggest Dutch GT and Touring car racing series that hosts semi-endurance races on the most renowned race tracks of Europe, for teams from all over the continent.
The Dutch Supercar Challenge holds four divisions (apart from the Mosler Challenge) that race simultaneously on the track (depending on the circuit the grid might be cut into two grids). In this format the Mosler MT900R fits beautifully in the GT-class where it fights against the likes of DTM Audi TTR’s, Dodge Viper SRT-10’s, Chevrolette Corvette’s, Porsche GT3 RSR’s, Ferrari F430’s, Lamborghini Gallardo’s, etc., etc.
Mosler Challenge - designed for drivers
The Mosler Challenge is a race series meant to serve all of its participants. Challenge drivers are expected to compete in a gentlemanly spirit of fair play, with respect for the regulations, other competitors and their cars. Drivers are expected to be competitors rather than combatants, with the spirit of fair and safe competition always coming first. Drivers who fail to respect this “fair play” philosophy will be excluded from the Mosler Challenge. This Mosler Challenge offers current and future Mosler owners a structured, competitive environment to race with other Mosler owners on the most challenging race tracks in Europe.
Created and fully supported by Warren Mosler and the Mosler Europe organisation, the Mosler Challenge is a race series for amateur and professional Mosler drivers to race competitively in a welcoming and congenial atmosphere designed in the best interests of the drivers and owners. The motto of Warren Mosler has always been 'development through competition'. In cooperation with V-Max Racing Management we have successfully developed a series where we can run ‘unrestricted’ and allow the teams to tune and modify their MT900's to improve the breed. Any and all 'sensible' changes will have to be approved by the Mosler Challenge Committee for the benefit of all competitors.
The Mosler Challenge, designed for you
The Mosler Challenge is a race series meant to serve all of its participants. Challenge drivers are expected to compete in a gentlemanly spirit of fair play, with respect for the regulations, other competitors and their cars. Drivers are expected to be competitors rather than combatants, with the spirit of fair and safe competition always coming first. Drivers who fail to respect this “fair play” philosophy will be excluded from the Mosler Challenge.
The series aims to attract amateur and professional drivers who welcome a competitive environment supported by rules of equal opportunity and fair play. The Mosler Challenge appeals to accomplished or gentlemen drivers alike, and is intended to provide an enhanced GT race driving experience with high reliability and sensible costs.
Unlike other series, the Dutch Supercar Challenge allows the Mosler to compete against other well known marques in an environment which demonstrates the true capabilities of the car. Mosler has been doing this in many international GT-classes and in 2008 the American car manufacturer set up its own Mosler Challenge with the Dutch Supercar Series. The Dutch Mosler Challenge will kick off the new season in early April 2010, while this year sees the Mosler Challenge opening up in V de V. Meanwhile the Mosler is entering new markets in Australia and the Far East. In time, it is hoped to expand the Mosler Challenge into these events as well.
The Mosler MT900 GT3
Mosler MT900S road car modified to Mosler Challenge regulations (not road-legal). Rear/mid mounted longitudinal V8 engine with 6 speed rear transaxle and rear wheel drive. Standard Mosler MT900S components unless otherwise stated. Click here to download the full specifications
All Mosler MT900 race cars are eligible to compete in the Challenge in all engine and suspension configurations originally supplied by or approved by Mosler Europe. The standard 550 BHP GT3 Chevy LS7 engine gives adequate performance, however more powerful engines are allowed (within the DSC Power to Weight ratio). A 1300 kilo with driver minimum weight is stipulated for the most powerful Moslers. Any performance balancing will use pit-stop time penalties, with faster cars handicapped, however we intend that the best cars with the best drivers will run at the front.
The Mosler Challenge offers both demanding competition on the race track as well as a relaxed social environment with other Mosler owners and fellow DSC drivers and teams away from the track. All MT900’s remain eligible to participate in various other Championships enabling owners to make full use of their investment.
