Looking great Hans! Did your fibreglass guy sort out the bodykit? Love the way your rear tyres sit up inside the wheel arch. I'd like to achieve a similar look.

Finally a picture worth a 1000 words, nothing like a 951 doing what is suppose to do, road race. Fantastic car I do envy you.

Thx guys, for all the compliments and nice words.
There were some Q's about the rear wing.
The rear wing unit is an own product, based on a GT3 wing. It was shortened, to not be wider as the body, but now I could fit the original width.
It is easily adjustable,
It is mounted through the lexan rear window
It is mounted on the rear chassis beams . A picture of the mount
I must say, it really works. A friend of mine once had to drive without it, according to him he lost 10-20 km top speed in the turns.
We made the unit 3 years ago, I guess there are 10-15 guys now using it.

Would rear hatch glass be strong enough to carry those loads, if one would drill through holes ( aligned with rear wiper hole ) and use "stress plates" on the top and below the glass?

I guess that you would need supports to the floor to cope with this.

I thought I would show some recent pictures of my 944 Turbo in action on the famous Spa/Francorchamps track.
The widebody rebuild, which took all of the winter and most of the summer is now nearing completion.
The front bumper shell is still not to my liking, needs rework, but as a whole I am quite satisfied.
Next winter I am going to think about some new striping.
The intention of the widebody rebuild was not to make the car look cooler, but to make it go faster. I will post some preliminary results shortly.
