Default Dirty GT3

**WARNING: MONEY2536 THIS IS THE STUFF OF YOUR NIGHTMARES!**

Took a "shortcut" on my way to Oregon Motorsports Park last weekend. It was my first time there and didn't know the roads... ended up on a gravel road for 3-4 miles while the car was still wet from a rainy freeway drive, so it got properly dirty by the time I arrived at the track. Looked like I'd been offroading in it. Doh!

Anyway, thought you guys might enjoy some not-so-pristine Sapphire Blue GT3 pics. I feel like Money's evil twin now

I love it!
I like the attitude of, it's my car and I'll drive if any damn way I want because I'm not saving it for the next owner.

I don't know anyone who hasn't gotten lost getting to ORP the first time. First of all, most NAVs take you down the wrong road and secondly, the sign for the turnoff is so small and low to the ground I still miss it most of the time.

Ugh, gravel though..... I would of turned around, I can't stand the sound of pebbles hitting the muffler on normal roads!

ORP is an awesome track for DE days- hope you had fun!

Haha more dirty GT3 pics! Awesome! I should make a #dirtyGT3 tag for Instagram posts

Here is one more, after the second DE day that weekend. Those gorgeous wheels covered in brake dust with bits of hot rubber inside

Yes ORP is awesome! Got to run it both clockwise and counter clockwise over the weekend. Such a cool feature of the track. Definitely want to go back soon!

Here is a lap in the CW config... excuse the wobbly iPhone video and the somewhat tentative driving... first time there and still getting to know the car too:

VDAR,
Nice plate. Did you have a wind buffeting solution?

Not that I noticed. Getting a full detail soon to say "I'm sorry"

Hi Peter! Thanks... most people seem to think the plate refers to cloud computing

I ordered the AWE foils a while ago but not sure if they've shipped yet. Luckily able to run with windows UP for that event, so no issues.
