Two Factory Fives Finish in Top 10 and Under 2 Minutes at UTCC!

In “Star Wars,” Han Solo says about the Millennium Falcon, “It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.” Running under 2 minutes at Virginia International Raceway is kind of like that.

This past weeks at the Ultimate Track Car Challenge at VIR, two Factory Five cars ran faster than 2 minute lap times and finished in the Top 10! This is huge accomplishment, and it wasn’t done with mega-buck race cars, but with modestly built Factory Fives and great drivers.


Factory Five customer John George finished 8th overall running a blistering 1:58.985 in his brand-new Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe-R. The video above is John’s fast lap.
