Hi Kroggers,

This topic was discussed a while back on the Boxster Spec racing site. I don't remember all the details but as I recall the risk vs reward was pretty high. All sorts of vulnerable bits are up under the fender wells that could be damaged by 100mph rocks and track debri flinging around in there. The thought is that you cannot win if you don't finish. Also there are many nooks and crannies that will collect sand and rocks over time resulting in a potentially heavier car without the fender wells than with them. This was the general feeling of guys who had been racing these cars for 5 years or more. YMMV

I hope you find this useful.
