Impressively, a Maserati Shamal beat a Trofeo (race-built version of the GranSport) in first place. A Shamal arrived 3rd too!

This is a video I made for my Japanese friends of Team Shamal's, a group of Shamal enthusiasts that tune and race their cars.

Great vid, how do those Shamals compete so well? They must have had a healthy amount of money spent on them - the shamal doesn't even have a racing history like the cup does.
Think I saw one ghibli in there - I'd love to hear about the mod's all these guys run for racing over standard.
I can't believe they run such an event, it looks great! Even a crazy guy in a qp5 in there! The owners of the trofeo cars must have some cash cash, saw a couple advertised recently from an aussie team, I think the cost was something like 200k each.

Good to see healthy respect of one another on track too.

Rich the two trofeo's ex aussie race team are up for 70k euro's each ,plus loads of spares for rach car , the price is coming down, the closer it gets to the import tax date if they remain in aussie i emailled them for spares believe it not , may be if they are the same ones the reason they might be forsale is because they got beat by shamals

The winning Shamal supposedly has about 600 ponies, whilst the one that arrived third, over 500. The third placed Shamal is the one I am most familiar with, having seen it first hand and received an explanation of the mods by the owner. It's got a lot of work done on it, a lot.

Had I kept and finished tuning my GranSport, I would have blown them both away
