Default How to fly with a 951...
I attented a time attack challenge today at a new small track 1,5 hrs drive away.
Part of the track was still an old road - narrow with no safety zones/sand pits... I now have a ripped splitter and smashed left rear fender in front of the wheel. Damn... Time for widebody??

Anyway, part of the track included a nice crest and going over it at WOT resulted in some nice jumps

Thanks, it was fun but the track was a bit too small. I only got 1 session due to the crash, but I think I ended up on 3rd place of about 25 participants so it wasn't too bad after all.
But the green hunter is a bit roughed up!

Damn Gustaf, you just finshed the Hunter and now you did this? Come on, keep that beautiful car in great shape, but still use it...

That's no good, Gustaf. I guess it could always be worse, right?

Ha, Fantastic pics Duke!! They've been saved to my file already.

Well the top two anyway.

How did you actually come to damage the car though? Splitter, nose and rear fender? Did you spin or something?
I also noticed the camber. This would have some of our rear engined friends a little curious lol

The stock h/g holding up so far. What sort of boost are you up to?

nice pics, details on the hood?

damage sucks, very good excuse for the 968-type fender flares (with exposed bolts/rivets for extra BA points)

Great pictures (the jump ones)! It reminds me of the old Volvo ad: This isn't your uncle Olaf's Volvo!

Its not really the ‘hump’ – its just Duke doing a wheelie from all the power!

Duke – what did you do for a head gasket this time? Looks like its working….and sorry about the ding – gives you a reason to upgrade something!

Since no one else said it.

It should buff right out.

Looks like an excuse for new mods.
