Fox Factory Brings the Heat at Petit Le Mans

Last week, the Motul Petit Le Mans, the final race of the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, descended upon the Road Atlanta Michelin Raceway in Braselton, GA, for an intense week of action and a passionate fanbase. For the past 25+ years, this 10-hour racing event has been a staple for racing enthusiasts in the southeast U.S. with non-stop action. Podium winners for the Road Atlanta 10-Hour event were Team Cadillac Whelen piloting a Cadillac V-Series R, Aston Martin Thor Team piloting an Aston Martin Valkyrie, and the Porsche Penske Motorsport team third piloting a Porsche 963.

During Friday of race week, the Fox Factory 120 took place as a 120-minute race that showcased athletes piloting BMW, Porsche, McLaren, Chevrolet, and more as they fought for the podium. Taking first place in a McLaren Artura GT4 were Moisey Uretsky and Michael Cooper on the Ibiza Farm Motorsports team. ( View the IMSA recap here) Fox Factory, of course, is no stranger to battles for the checkered flag, with athletes and partners actively participating in racing events around the country and the world.

From endurance racing to tearing up the desert of Baja, Fox Factory showed up as it always does, with the most advanced suspension technology on the market and the upfitted vehicles that use it. Built on racing heritage, new and old fans alike turned out to see the Fox Factory vehicles in person.

Launched in May of this year, the lowered Black Widow Tahoe SR takes the typical grocery-getter and elevates it. With the attitude of a muscle car, but the refinement of a luxury SUV, the SR delivers a striking look combined with Fox Factory engineering and proprietary parts.

The equipped Ridetech suspension is built to hug mountain roads in a way you wouldn’t expect from an SUV with track-ready performance. 

In partnership with RTR vehicles, Fox Factory displayed the 2025 Mustang RTR Spec 3 in a limited-edition Mystichrome paint at Petit Le Mans. Equipped with a 3.0L Ford Performance Whipple Supercharger, the Spec 3 is pushing 810-hp and 615 lb-ft of torque. This Spec 3 is made for tearing up tracks like Road Atlanta and eating up Spec Miata’s for lunch.

Upgraded components include adjustable shocks and struts, lowering springs, and adjustable front and rear sway bars for a fully dialed driving experience. Whether you plan to track it, drift it, or just drive it to work, the RTR Spec 3 Mustang is ready to show up and show out.

For those who love adventure and the outdoors, Fox Factory showcased the Outside Van Piggyback adventure van, which is the perfect blend of luxury, mobility, and outdoor capability. This rig would be ideal for race weekends, extended travel, or campground stays to quench your thirst for more time outdoors.

This custom-built adventure van sleeps and seats up to 4 people on a Sprinter 144 chassis, including a 2-person bench seat and roof-top pop up. With a full galley kitchen, indoor shower, and 640-amp hours of lithium power, this van is ready to take camping up a notch.

“The Outside Van “Piggy Back” was an absolute magnet for attendees,” commented Tyler Porter, SR. Marketing Manager at Fox Factory. “Everyone wanted to tour the van and check out the features up close.”

Rounding out the lineup with peak versatility is the Upfit UTV Tradesman. Rugged and practical, the Tradesman is ready for any job with FOX race-proven components and performance. With secure organization options, integrated lighting, and a deluxe interior, the Tradesman makes hard work efficient and comfortable.

Last but certainly not least in the show’s lineup: the Fox Factory Silverado 1500. This Super Truck is the most advanced off-road truck readily available on the market and features a complete off-road-ready lighting package. Pushing 700-HP with a Supercharged 6.2L V8 and 14.5 inches of travel with a dialed-in coilover suspension kit, the Fox Factory Silverado is a force to be reckoned with.

The FOX 3.2 Live Valve coilover shocks on the FFT are designed to soak up anything you throw at it with semi-active, electronically controlled compression with position-sensitive internal bypass technology. To put it in layman’s terms, it makes for a smooth, comfortable ride on off-road terrain with aggressive control and stability.

Outfitted with Baja Kits Long Travel Front Suspension, this truck has a 6” wider overall track width over stock, which improves its capability and stability. Combine all of this with 17“ All-terrain tires with Bead Grip technology, and this Super Truck is ready for all driving conditions.

Also at the booth were two demo vehicles, a Chevrolet Corvette and a Dodge Challenger, featuring an all-new line of shocks from FOX specific to street cars. Interested in upgraded shocks for your ride? Check out the latest technology here.

This year’s Petit Le Mans was the best event yet at Road Atlanta with a completely sold-out show. The event was filled to the brim to the point of turning potential event goers away, which is a testament to just how fast this event has grown, and how much of an impact it has had on enthusiasts here in the Southeast U.S. 

When asked how attendees received the Fox Factory booth, Tyler Porter had this to say, “Our booth was in a prime location inside the fan zone, and we had a steady stream of traffic the entire weekend.” Besides the Outside Van Piggy Back, he also noted that the RTR Mustang and Fox Factory Truck were major attention-getters for attendees.
