Default Dream tack day car NOT CAY SORRY BLONDE MOMENT ?

what would you take if you could take any factory car around the ring?
Bugatti ?
think a Mk1 mexico would be good feel the power and the forces of driving the car
not all the electric stuff of the newer cars making it a better experiance !!

To expand on that a proper Race Car i'd like to take round there would be an Australian V8 Supercar! Either Ford Falcon or the new Holden Commadore

Be better if someone drove it for me though as i've never been!

996 GT2 for me.

A thread on Pistonheads with an article taken from the Miami Gazette about the Gumball, this is about CPU1, the British nutterbastard GT2....enjoy.


http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic...8&t=318475&h=0

Some nice posts from Lonman

where it was filmed at 208mph?



QUOTE
California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, England, Scotland, France, Spain, Morocco, Holland, Germany, Belgium, Croatia, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland...i forget the rest!! (you think i'm joking)



QUOTE
Sorry forgot some.....

New york, Virginia, West Virginia (had to detour due to road block), Tennasee (sp?), Arkansas, Nevada....i think that's it. Generally speaking without a downhill stretch most of these places only got a paltry 206!




QUOTE
Sorry for a naive question here, but Rob how the hell do you manage those speeds in so many countries and keep your ar53 out of gaol all this time??




QUOTE
I don't. Invariably, I go to jail in most places and countries. 6 States and 11 countries and counting!!

“The final leg to Miami was long and fast. I-95 was the only way to go and
the Florida troopers knew it. Armed with what appeared to be the entire
force including two planes and a helicopter many of the Gumballers fell
victim to their mobilization effort. Chasing a Porsche GT2 with a Union Jack
on its roof proved a little too much even for them however. Congratulating
the driver over the police radio, which they were sure the Porsche was
monitoring, (he was!) that he was going so fast, that they were
diverting their officers attention to “easier targets”. Unsurprisingly “Rob”
was first across the finish at the Mandarin Oriental and celebrated with his
signature donuts leaving the bellman and cameramen gasping for air like
beached fish.”

“A spokesman for the FHP commented, “We were aware that the Gumball 3000 was due to be coming through Florida, but did not have all the details. The first car to enter into Florida was a Silver Porsche GT2 with a British flag on the roof, and I can tell you now, this guy really was hauling ass. When your helicopters are out run, and your planes can’t keep up, you have to close down the Interstate. We took the decision to do this in the interest of public safety. My buddy reckoned he covered the first 180 miles to Jacksonville in little over an hour. He picked him up as the I-95 hit Florida, by the next time Porsche was sighted he was going past mile marker 125, that was an hour later and over 180 miles away. Do the Math, this guy weren’t stopping for anyone. We caught up with him at the finish line and spoke to him, I can’t comment at this time. He was followed by 180 other high performance cars all exceeding the speed limit by a long way, but not so severely. I hear the guy in the Porsche won the rally….we need faster planes”

Miami Gazette.

Soz for the off topic-ness.
