I remember somebody that wanted to use his Cup Car to do a time trial race on two of the bumpiest roads in America. (RH rally) ( I thought you were crazy to even think of using it)

I would love to go old school, like Manthey, and drive my cup to the race. (and then have my full pro-team in the transporter follow me....)

That looks like a blast! How can you not!

Handled the stop signs and slow areas with ease.

Just not sure why you'd even want to do that other than to say you did it. If you're gonna do it, push the throttle to the floor and let it eat for god's sake.

Well, come on guys he's shifting like he knows what he's doing. He's obviously experienced as the newbies shift kind of timid. This guy knows you must be forceful and postitive with the shifter. Kudos.

We're not only driving the cars on the road for having fun... Even if it's big fun (as always when you're driving a Cup)!

If you did something to the car like changing out parts it's IMO better to do a little test at home to see if everything works properly then taking the car to the track just to realize that it has a problem which you can't fix easily there.

Of course it's kinda special to drive a racecar on the road! I know others from Austria who did/ do this even with a 997 RSR...

You're right! I remember that the settings were a bit low but we changed that.
