What happens here

Ray Evernham showcases a particular yellow second-generation IROC Camaro (car number 02) that is currently part of his collection. This specific car boasts an impressive history, having been driven by Formula 1 legend Niki Lauda during his IROC participation. Subsequently, it was acquired by Cooke Woods Racing and achieved a Trans-Am race victory at Laguna Seca with George Follmer behind the wheel. Ray intends to fully restore this vehicle, creating a unique hybrid presentation that honors both its IROC and Trans-Am racing legacies. Complementing his collection, Ray also reveals that he has located approximately 90% of an original Camaro body, which he plans to use to create molds and repair components for other second-generation IROC Camaros in his collection, effectively breathing new life into these historical machines.

Goal: Restore a historically significant IROC Camaro to its former glory, incorporating its diverse racing history.
