Newbie Intro Thread

[StratusChaz]

Hey all! I'm excited to be the first to introduce myself on the Sebeco Forum! I've spent many years around this car and all its iterations and look forward to connecting with everyone on this platform.

My history with the NP01 starts back in 2017 with the NASA Western Endurance Race Championship. We campaigned what was then the Elan NP01 in three races culminating in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill where we finished third in class!

Fast forward a few years and we found ourselves in WRL where we were then able to enter in the GTO field where we won our first race pretty soundly causing an uproar among the production field. However, reliability was not yet our strong suit at the time, so we did not win the championship our first year, but we did win our own class - GTU.

Since then, the car and the GTU field have come a long way! In 2024, we won 12 of the 16 WRL races overall and managed to snag the National Overall Championship for the series. The GTU field is expanding quite a bit for 2025 with the addition of two more two car programs from Round 3 Racing and Automatic Racing, so with all that added competition, I think the Stratus team has our work cut out for us next year. With that said, I can't be more excited to see what the 2025 season brings!

Hello Sebeco Owners!

My name is Cal. I have been a fan of these cars since they were originally announced back in 2015. I grew up racing multiple cars, but have always been drawn to a spec prototype car. I love everything motorsports and was blessed to have grown up in a family who shared the same passion. I have yet to race an NP01-EVO, but I hope to change that soon.

I currently have the privilege of working with these cars daily and am available to help answer your questions. Together with the rest of the team here at Sebeco, we strive to provide the best ownership experience possible.

Hey everyone, I’m Kevin!

I’m a coach with NASA Great Lakes, and when I’m not coaching I track my Miata. I’ve also had the chance to compete in a few Champ Car races and one WRL race at Sebring. I just got my NASA competition license last year, so I'm excited to do more!

I have yet to drive an NP01 but I have some friends who are owners so I hope to hop in one soon!

Hi guys!

I just put a deposit on a brand new NP-01-Evo and I'm really looking forward to race it. I should receive it in June and start testing it in July.

I've raced sedans since 2010, mostly Porsches 944's (NA's and Turbo's) but I've also done some racing with 911's, Boxsters and Mercedes AMG GT4. My last few years were more relax in terms of racing schedule and 2025 will be a discovery year for me with the NP-01, with 2026 being a full fledge effort with PSSA.

I'm really looking forward to see the construction progress of my car during the winter/spring.

Here are some pictures of the cars I've had the chance to drive.
