helterskelter should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
From road car to Racing Car

Does anyone of you know how this magic event happens? I was wondering especially how do they start working on the setup, as for the engine and gearbox parts there is pretty much of a well-known path.
Any ideas?

I can only give you some links that might give you an idea. The first link shows how a BMW E90 is being prepared for WTCC:
http://www.terato.com/cars/content/view/237/39/

This second link is a short clip on what happens when the car is completed:

Here is another interesting link on how a touring car is prepared for US racing by Turner Motorsport:

I hope these links are of interest! I like them very much. Enjoy!

stedevil has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
This used to show something like that, putting all the parts into a empty chassis, but it seems the youtube entry has expired. Im sure you can get the video from FlashEngineering though if you are interested.

It's all very interesting, I like the videos, thank you so much. Any ideas aside from s2000? Maybe an N group car?

I think the Turner M3 mentioned above is pretty close to Group N. Not by the letter of the rules, but it is a showroom-stock machine.
