FABCAR Engineering, Carmel, Indiana, USA.  FABCAR was started by Dave Klym in 1977.  For history of FABCAR click here.   In 2001 they were approached by Jim and Bill France Jnr's Grand American Road Racing Association to produce prototypes for their series of races that included the Daytona 24 hours.  This series was in effect NASCAR's alternative to IMSA's ALMS series.  The Grand Am cars were lower tech than those running in the rival series and were not eligible for events such as Le Mans.  Eight of these cars were built. In 2003 they were raced by Brumos Racing and won the Rolex Sports Car Daytona Prototype Manufacturers championship for FABCAR.  They won a number of races including those at Fontana, Watkins Glen and Mont Tremblant.  The car finished fifth in that years Daytona 24 hours.  Drivers included David Donohue, Hurley Haywood, JC France and Scott Goodyear.   The car had a 3.6 litre 6 cylinder Porsche engine derived from the 911 GT3 road car and produced 475bhp.
