The "office" is starting to look rather complicated compared to just one or two models back.



Perhaps some knowledgeable type can identify the track map on the door. I assume it's a test loop of Leipzig. I was kind of hoping it would be Hockenheim, but that would have been too poetic.

Nothing, at all, in common with 991 GT3. Not one single part. RSR runs, what $450k now for a new one? All great eye candy but nothing in common with GT3 regardless of what the Kool-Aid drinkers want to believe.

Cheers...

A third pedal? Gee. What it that for? I though this was a race car... you know F1 technology.

It is a fake pedal for drivers with Obsessive Compulsive Heel-Toe Disorder
