Spice AK93

The Spice AK93 was a sports prototype race car built by the British constructor Spice Engineering for the World Sports Car regulations that were newly codified in 1993. It has a carbon fibre monocoque with carbon fibre bodywork, double wishbone suspension with push-rod actuated coil springs over shock absorbers, and an anti-roll bar. The engine sits behind the driver: a naturally aspirated 3.0 litre 60 degree Acura C30B V6 rated at about 440 horsepower, driving through a five-speed Hewland manual gearbox. The RacingSportsCars archive records 28 entries for the type between 1993 and 1995, all at events in the United States, with 21 finishes, a best result of fourth place and one pole position. The chassis numbered SE93P-027 was raced most often, and the drivers who used the car most were Bob Schader, Rick Sutherland and Bob Earl.
