Twins!

If I remember correctly, that's the car you wish you had kept (the 997.2 RS).

Yes,,I kept the rest but at the time I had a space problem. Still, I had some great adventures with that car.

I find Spa much scarier to drive. It is way faster and though lots of runoff, the accidents can be very bad...if you look at this video from last week at Spa, go to about 6 mins in and you will see the classic Eau Rouge up to Radillon accident:

That was a nasty crash, for sure. Interesting how well protected the corner worker stations are there - a good thing but one that speaks volumes about the dangers at Spa that you expressed.

Nice to see another win for Rexy in GTD Pro at the Detroit Grand Prix. I sure looked like most of the WeatherTech IMSA Detroit Grand Prix was going to be won by Penske Porsche in the GTP Class, but late changes found one Porsche in second and another in fourth.

Rexy is becoming such an Icon, that friends who are not even Porsche fans love the car!!

Highlights of the Nürburgring 24 race which was redflagged for fog after 7 hours. Wass setting up to be a good race too. Shortest N24 in history.Lots of Porsches in the vid.

Plenty more activity I imagine besides what was in the brief compilation. The fog shown at the end was intense. Thanks for posting!

2025 WEC Schedule - Endurance Racing Returning to COTA next season.

https://www.autoweek.com/racing/more-ra ... d568259d8a

Good to see that the WEC enduro is back at COTA for 2025. Unlike the rest of the 2025 WEC schedule, there is no race length mentioned for the COTA event at any of the sites I looked at but given that It was a 6-hour race this year, my guess is that it will be the same length again in 2025.
