Ginetta - a little-known professional athlete Bashny.Net

There are many little-known auto brands that exist in the shadow of the world-famous names. I recently wrote about the Italian brand Fornasari. Today on the agenda of the British brand Ginetta, which appeared in 1958 and continues to good health in spite of the economic crises and shocks, of which over half a century did not happen enough.

The secret of the survival of the brand is that it does not seek to conquer the existing market segments, and has created its own segment in which there is a small but steady demand. And this segment - amateur motorsports.

Ginetta holds its own three championship (for teens, for both beginners and experienced amateurs), as well as various club competitions. Take part in them can be anyone from the age of 14. This significant investment is needed. If you do not have enough money for a new car (from 15 000 to 47 000 pounds depending on the class of the car), you can use one of two options: a car can be rented (250 pounds per day), you can buy a used car (9000 - 10 000 pounds).

Thus Ginetta not only and not so much engaged in the production of cars, as offers a wide range of services for motorsport fans. It is the whole racing industry, which includes manufacturing, service, organization of competitions, training.

Ginetta G20



However, there have Ginetta and road car version. Until recently, it was the model G50 - classic sports car with the front of the 300-horsepower Ford's engine. However, not so long ago the company decided to abandon the production of road-going version of this model, replacing it with a more affordable, but less powerful new model G40. G50 will now exist only in the racing version.
