Walkinshaw Performance buys Elfin??
Not sure that my last post got through but if it did apologies for the repost.
One of Australian Motorsports most famous names has been bought by Tom Walkinshaw. An announcement should be made tomorrow that will see Elfin cars sold in selected HSV dealers. The move will be a positive one for the marque which has struggled to keep up with the demand on their new cars. |

Is there any plans to race an Elfin in the AUSGT Championship? there was something about GRM building one a while ago, or was this shelved a long time ago?
