Great shots! Looks like a pro shoot.
BTW, what's the reaction by the Russians to your cars? Also, is car theft an issue there? (eg, by Russian mafia and so on?)

My first post in this thread (at least I think so).

The pictures are from a track day in May this year. Got a couple of 996 Turbo's and Boxster on my back.

9X8, very cool shots. Clearly took some time (& connections) to stage those pictures and get that stretch of road to yourselves.
Reminds me of these that I got several years ago in DC (pre-9/11). Even so, I had a brief window before I was hustled along...
(those black centers w/polished rims look great on both cars, BTW.)







Ragnar,
Cool shots as well. Did those cars stay on your back? Looks like you were getting a little 'light' in that third pic!

Indeed, it was pretty much a pro shoot for an article.

Common reaction is mostly described by O_O smiley.

As for mafia thing, I could ofcause describe some exxagerated horror stories and then have some giggles seeing as you take it serious (), but nah, I'm in nice mood today.

Frankly, the whole car theft situation is probably the same as in the rest of the world. Moreover, there is a very limited amount of classic Porsches around here (maybe 15(!) running 928's for a whole 14-15 mio citizens city of Moscow), so it really makes no sense for thieves to steal one.

The Silver Turbo passed on the last lap, but the Black Turbo and I lapped the Boxster later on.

The picture of the light tail is actually taken as the car passes a ridge. The front wheels shows (counter-)steering to the left, while the rear tire shows the behind of the car being forced to the left as well. Its a great feeling to "fly" sideways !

Adding a new photo. This is after installing new Club Sport dampers and springs. Red Boge dampers and springs with orange dot in the front and 3 blue dots in the back. The car is sliding and I consider replacing the 16" Club Sport rims with some 18" wheels.

Bill, I've actually poached part of one of your images for use on the main page of the Frenzy13 website. I had it in my 'cool pictures' archive, but couldn't remember whose shot it was....



Hope you don't mind.
If you'd rather me not use it, I'll pull it off the site. Otherwise, your car is a star - front & center.
