| Some other interesting additions to the car to make it easier on the crew were the auxiliary lights on the outside of the car. This little orange side marker was used to identify the car as it comes down the pit road at night. |
 |
| Also to help it be seen on the track for the crew and the officials were these license plate lights re-purposed to illuminate the door numbers. Both of these lights are the same ones you can buy at your local auto parts store which is exactly what they did! |
 |
| All of these little things helped the car make a successful debut at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. The car's OEM reliability and crew assisting features helped APM finish in the Top 10 of their class. However, the team did feel like the car was over-classed in E1 and felt it would be a better fit in E2.
Keep in mind that in E1 you see NASA Boxster Spec, Camaro Mustang Challenge 2, SCCA GP (with DOT tires), and SCCA GT4 and GT5 (again, both on DOT tires). E2, for comparison, contains Camaro/Mustang Challenge, Mini Challenge-CS, GTS-1, Honda Challenge 3, Improved Touring S, BMW CCA J- and K-Sport, BMW CCA L- and M-Prepared, and Inex Thunder Roadster. |

| No matter the result, the APM Racing FR-S looked amazing racing in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. |
 |
| Even with the scars, it still looks good and will look far better now that the team knows where they want the car to end up and that the MotoIQ Pacific Car Championships may be a possibility in its future. |
