This is far from your normal Porsche Cayman. The Rolex Daytona 24 Hours has been among the few pinnacles of motorsport racing events since 1962. Drivers such as Dan Gurney, Mark Donohue, Hurley Haywood, Peter Gregg, and Ken Miles have been among this legendary race's long list of competitors. For over 60 years, the 24 Hours of Daytona has been among the Big Three in endurance racing alongside the 24 Hours du Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring. In 2013, the GX class was introduced due to the merger of the American Le Mans Series and the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series. The GX class was deemed close enough in performance to the GT Daytona class but was focused on sustainability in racing. This was the last year privateer racing teams were allowed in the 24 Hours of Daytona. This 2009 Porsche Cayman GX.R was built by Bullet Racing specifically for the GX Class. Only 3 GX-specification Porsche Caymans were constructed for the GX class.? Fitted with a built 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine, Bullet Racing aimed to take the GX class by storm. Bullet Racing used many 997 GT3R chassis components and an engine from the Caymans big brother, the 911. The #22 Bullet Racing Cayman finished 2nd in the GX class, piloted by Darryl OYoung, James Clay, Dan Rogers, Seth Thomas, and Karl Thomson. The seller obtained this car to race historic events such as the HSR 24 Hours of Daytona, Monterey Historics, and Rennsport Reunion but did not have the time to do so. Once purchased, the seller sent the car to BGB Motorsports to make any repairs and complete maintenance to ensure its capability to compete.This Cayman has a Motec Electronic Control Unit that powers the 3.8-liter engine. Many Porsche GT3R and RSR components are installed, including JRZ 3-way coilovers, a Premier fuel cell, Krontex airjacks, and a Dual master cylinder with adjustable brake bias. Additional components installed are an OMP steering wheel, an OMP seat (original to the 2013 Rolex 24-Hour race with driver markings), a Carbon Fiber hood, Carbon Fiber body parts, Carbon Fiber doors, and Lexan windows. The 6-speed manual transmission has been replaced and has had only 6 Driver-Education track days since. The rear transaxle includes a Guard Limited-Slip-Differential with only 2 Driver-Education days since. The axles, brake rotors, and brake pads have only seen two Driver-Education track days. Transferring the power and braking force to the ground are 18-inch Forgeline wheels wrapped in staggered tires. The car is finished in the original livery, complete with the 24 Hours of Daytona patina and Rolex stickers. The sale includes the 2nd place trophy, vehicle history, and other media from the race.?

Henderson Auctions Collector Motor Series will take place at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, AL. www.hendersonmotorseries.com for details!
