    That is a track car. No other use for it than that. It is fully modified for one reason....racing. The other car is basically a street car with the windshield hacked off. Pull the taped on number off, drive it to the V meet and it would be laughed at.

    Dollars to Donuts it's street driven. It's most likely in Japan unless someone has flipped the image. It's basically a street car, hardly any outward looking race modifications on it. Stock bodywork, full headlights. Side rear view mirrors, drivers AND passenger. The cars in the photo with him are similiar, minus the windshield mod from what I can see. Seems to me, my best guess would be street car class of a track day. I'm sure it can perform, that was never in question.

    Oh yea. And I still think it looks like shit. .

    That's E Production FYI, prepared is an autocross class.

    I want to add more. This S2K doesn't even look like a race car. That roll bar looks like shit, it really looks like a stock S2K with no windshield. Find me specs on it racing and I will accept it. I still think it's ugly as fuck. I know all about race cars with no windscreens and all, that doesn't matter, just because you are into racing doesn't mean every race car looks good. That thing doesn't even look like it performs.

    Speedminded, why hating on Glides? He is a cool guy, and knows his shit, I trust his knowledge over many others on this site. If he was a Solo 2 or Solo 1 instructor what's the difference? Solo 2 is harder anyway. I'd be in the passenger seat with him pointing and laughing at this ugly ass POS S2K down the road too.

    Thanks Simon. I didn't instruct in Solo events, just raced in em.

    As for the car, that's what i've been trying to say all along. Mildly modded (exterior wise) S2k with a hacked off windscreen.
