A long overdue update<\/strong> on the Pontini Racing team’s 2014 Subaru BRZ endurance car is finally published on our forum in a new 4 part update<\/a><\/strong>. This covers the build steps, races, test days, series rules, and design theory behind this team’s 86 entry from September 2025 through April of 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the forum update<\/a><\/strong> we cover every step of this build, share part numbers and pictures, and even costs in some cases. This team has a budget – just like everyone – and they are trying to maximize the car’s performance and reliability with carefully chosen upgrades that fit within their series’ class rules and are the most cost effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow along in part 4 of this series<\/a><\/strong> with the car’s first competition endurance event, which showed great promise initially followed by a plastic cooling system fitting break that cost the team an engine at the car’s maiden event. That led to a major push to remove all plastics from the cooling system and a massive cooling reliability upgrade. That was followed by a rule change that really took this car out of contention for that series before it was even maximized to the current ruleset, which was frustrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the rest of the update<\/a><\/strong> the team hunkered down, rebuilt the drivetrain, made many upgrades and went racing with a different series in 2025 – and managed two 2nd place finishes. That made the struggles of the first race a bit easier to live with. You can check out the 4-part update here<\/a><\/strong>, which has hundreds of pictures and videos you can see larger versions of with a single click. Pull up to your favorite pc, get a snack, click the link<\/a><\/strong> and get motivated to build your own endurance car – while you learn from our mistakes.
