THE RACING LEGACY:
A MASTER BUILDER'S PERSPECTIVE
How decades of high-performance racing, track mechanics, and suspension geometry informed the pursuit of absolute ground-effect aerodynamics.
From piloting sports cars on historic circuits to his monumental 19-year restoration of the legendary Ford GT40 Mk2 Chassis P/1012, Don Davis spent decades mastering automotive engineering. Restoring P/1012 with a factory tub flown from FAV in England alongside Holman & Moody and John Wyer laid the foundation of craftsmanship. In his Aliso Viejo workshop, these race-track principles were applied to solve the extreme handling and aerodynamic demands of his custom twin-turbo Superlite SLC.
