Making progress on my build...

I got a set of those and looked into using them on the FFR PDG GTM race car, but they just didn't work out for a number of reasons. The front pins we leave long so we can remove the splitter and then prop the hood up on the long pins to get ground clearance when loading the car into the trailer, and on the rear deck the pins don't interface the deck perpendicular. Then there is the space issue you mentioned. I think the Aerocatch latches are cleaner once installed, but they are not an easy retrofit to a GTM...or at least our race GTM as it sits.

Makes sense. You probably did not have the hood hinged on the race car? I went with Aerocatch for a couple of reasons. I wanted more fixation of the front of this hood (at speed) than a single latch in the middle. Secondly, I did not have a good way of initially lifting the hood /getting my fingers under the edge of the hood to start lifting it, the pair of Aerocatch's lets me use the latches to lift to start opening the hood.

What's the latest with the PDG GTM? I miss the race updates.
