Default In Car 928 - Tarmac rally spec

Taken in competition yesterday , not very exciting or quick , but may help someone get to sleep ! Competition was a sprint - so not normal for me , just trying to get a feel for handling after raising car 1 inch (There are lots of bumps on rally stages in Ireland !!)

Don't undersell the performance. I think he's faster in the wet than I am on dry pavement. Nice job.

That looks damn good to me....

What are the details on the engine, transmission and suspension? I would be very happy if my car ended up like yours.

thanks

Very fun. Thanks for posting.
WIs that a turbo/SC whine I hear? Might I suggest mounting the camera just a bit lower so we can see more of the road and less of you. Nothing against your face just its interruption of the view out the car.

Looking forward to the next post.

Seriously cool. I assume that's a wastegate whistling on the overrun?

All that opposite lock would have been a lot less fun on a bike.

Details : - hmm , standard engine , std box with LSD , Billstein suspension - all fairly standard - no turbo , no supercharger .. nothing. Weight too heavy at 1360kg ready to run ... but better than std. Start was in 2nd gear due to weather conditions. Point taken about camera pos'n , but it was first attempt !

That was great driving.

Can you post more pictures of your car?

I'd especially like to see the gage set-up on the dash, but the whole car too.
Like the gulf colors.
