It's official. The Twingo passed DMSB certification and is approved to race in the SP3 class.
That means our once-ordinary city car is now a recognized race machine, cleared to compete under the same rulebook as Germany's top GT cars. For a project that started as "what if we raced a Twingo," that's a big line to cross.
The inspection took about two hours, and nothing got waved through. The roll cage, the restraints, the fuel cell, the catalytic converter, the structural parts, all of it checked to the same standard they apply to GT3 and GT4 cars. Passing it means our engineering actually holds up to how German motorsport authorities measure a race car.
SP3 is where the purpose-built machines run at events like the Nürburgring 24 Hours and the NLS. It's also home to some of the best underdog stories in the sport, cars like the Dacia Logan and the Opel Manta. That's exactly the company we want to keep: the oddball cars with personality that remind people racing is supposed to be fun.
Thanks to DMSB and DEKRA for a professional inspection, and to everyone in our community following every step of this.
The paperwork is done. Now we prepare the Twingo for the tracks it was built for.
