FW Motorsports

I'd like to introduce the i-club community to another chapter of DBtuned:



We are in process of building a 2005 STi for entry into Global Time Attack series of racing.

I've been asked by many, "What does FW Motorsports mean?"
Simply put: "FW" = "Foxtrot Whiskey" = Fallen Warrior.

The car's livery will be military themed and will include the names of all +6400 service people killed in Iraq & Afghanistan.

As this endeavour is completely self/shop financed, there will be no vendor logos (except for 2-4) to distract from the car's message.

What I'm requesting from the community is two things:

1. Please check out & "like" our Facebook page

and

2. If you personally know the name of a KIA'ed friend or family member, please email me their name, as we'll be affixing a gold star to each name as it's recognized.

Some pictures of the car as it's being built:

Hey Paul, is there any way we could volunteer some time in the car? I think it would be something really cool to be part of, even if that means putting some stickers on the car.

Once the car is done we should try to find some press coverage for you... I'm sure all the troops' families would love to see something like this built in their honor.

Nice Paul, what a great way to combine your passion for cars/racing and honoring those who have served this country. Can't wait to see the "initial" final product. Is this gonna be for 2012 season or you gonna try and make it to Infineon?
