No Tour photos? For shame....

19:02 - “We’ve covered 2500 miles.”

Shit. I hit Play again.

Made it to six minutes in and gave up. Dumb attempt at a Top Gear Special.

The obvious Jalop answer is Porsche 935.

Sweet castle!

Very cool story. It’s a shame they had to peel the vinyl off so soon. The car is a bit of a celebrity now. And I’ll buy a bottle of Kiklos if I see it.

I had a lot of fun with these engine codes when I made one of the definitive BMW engine code lists for Turner Motorsport - https://www.turnermotorsport.com/e/t-BMW-Engine-Codes

Nailed it. Those days had such an impact on me that I remember the exact stories you’re referring to.

I would rather listen to the anonymous source with actual inside information than the guy/girl on the fringe/outside who is just spitballing or making assumptions.

Even the rear shocks are white! SMH

How about Virginia Key? Set aside that there is a waste treatment facility... I can get 3.24 miles with this layout along existing roads running counter-clockwise. Some already paved, others will need paving. With room for an easy pit lane and paddock. And spectator zones. And it won’t disrupt city life.

Those tire walls WILL get hit and pushed onto the track, resulting in more carnage and extended caution periods while they reconstruct them. It happened when ALMS and World Challenge raced there in the early 2000s.

“They were essentially two versions of the same car racing in different classes.”

“Would Ford run a very modified, hybrid version of the Ford GT, or would it make a new dedicated prototype that only kinda looks like a Ford GT?”

Jalopnik: “When Pininfarina first built the car, it was capable of fore and aft motion, but couldn’t really drive as it had no steering. Glickenhaus and his team, then, had their work cut out for them.”

As mentioned: likely a Sabra GT. Here is one in action during the Misselwood Concours Tour in Beverly, MA last year. I see some small differences but many similarities.

Not an apples:apples comparison. Tell the Mercedes or Ferrari F1 teams the gloves are off and it becomes a better race. Cool story tho.

“After three of years of listening to McLaren Jalopnik bitch....” they now praise on the company they shat on? I’ve seen plenty of fairweather fans and you guys certainly deserve the label.

OMG what happened next?!?!
