Nice work Peter and by none other than Derek Bell!!!!


Reminds me, I picked up my GT3 on Wed with new G engine and on packing the trunk later in the day noticed the Earl Bamber signature under the hood. Bumped into him at the track in Jan and asked for a few pointers in the GT3 which he has driven a fair bit then again at my dealer when my engine was in pieces (he was curious!?) ...

Nota as cool as Derek Bell driving your car tho!

Very cool right!

And there is more to this story because I told Derek that it was his son, Justin that got me into the track day hobby when we traded for a track day. Justin lived near me back then.

We ended up with our first track day back around 2002 at PBIR (Still Moroso back then) driving a day in Corvette's with my brother at his driving school there

Not long after we got TRAKCAR 1.0, the rustang.

Until then we didn't even know such a thing as track days existed, anyway here we are 14 years later and a lot poorer than I could have been LOL.

No, no Pete - you are much much richer and you know it
I feel the same way - richer - and I am a very thrifty Swabian

Works if you drag and drop it from browser to desktop too.
Very cool Peter! Something I'd cherish.
(have a picture of Hans Mezger with my former 7.2GT3 that helped with the sale...)
