BaT Auction: West Race Cars WX10 Race Car

This West Race Cars WX10 reportedly achieved a championship victory in the L2 category of the IMSA Prototype Challenge series by driver Robby Card in 2007. Power comes from a Suzuki Hayabusa-sourced 1,300cc inline-four paired with a six-speed sequential transmission, and the car features white-finished composite bodywork mounted to a chromoly space-frame chassis. Additional equipment includes a carbon fiber front splitter, rear wing, and diffuser, along with a fire suppression system, AiM digital display, pushrod suspension with Öhlins coilovers, and center-lock Jongbloed wheels wrapped in Hoosier slicks. This WX10 race car was donated to non-profit organization The Austin Hatcher Foundation by its previous owner and is now being offered on a bill of sale in Chattanooga, Tennessee with a low-profile floor jack and a spare set of wheels and tires.

The car features composite bodywork finished in white mounted to a chromoly tube-frame chassis. Aerodynamics include a carbon fiber front splitter, a central tunnel with vents behind the front wheels, a rear diffuser, and a low-drag carbon fiber wing. Additional equipment includes West graphics and various sponsor decals, a roll hoop, a side-exit exhaust pipe, front and rear tow hooks, and dual side-view mirrors. Various scratches, cracks, chips, and other imperfections can be seen in detail in the gallery below.

The polished multi-piece center-lock Jongbloed wheels are wrapped in white-letter Hoosier slicks, and braking is through four-wheel discs paired with Wilwood calipers. A spare set of wheels and tires is included in the sale, and the car features a pushrod suspension system actuating Öhlins coilovers with external reservoirs.

The cabin features a single fixed fiberglass bucket seat, a Willans four-point harness, and an SPA fire suppression system. A shifter is located to the driver’s right, and a MOMO steering wheel fitted with a quick release sits ahead of an AiM digital display with integrated shift lights. The seller estimates the car has seen approximately 100 hours of run time.

The 1,300cc inline-four was sourced from a Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle and sends power to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential transmission and a West limited-slip differential.

Proceeds from the sale will be donated to The Austin Hatcher Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides services to children and their families following a pediatric cancer diagnosis.
