Cool, and hope it meets you well when it arrives!

Back issues wait a while before going onto the store to ensure we have enough for new subscribers in the 3-month lull between issues.
Some of the topics include:
Carrera GT prototype genesis (photographed with the production car)
Rally Transsyberia program
Driving the 917K
What has to be one of the wildest PAG company cars based on a Carrera 3.2
"Driving the 917K", which Editor Stout wrote, is so beautifully written it's ALMOST like driving it oneself. A must read for those of us who never will get to drive one but would really like to.
God bless,

One of the coolest liveries I’ve ever seen on a car. I’ve always been a huge fan of geometric designs and the nod to various paint to sample car colors is super cool.
The 991 GT2 RS Clubsport art car was designed by Justin Page, who did concert posters for Bill Graham Presents (if you know, you know) and far, far more. Consider it 000's nod to the end of the 991 era, and a creative project that wouldn't have been possible if a few sponsors didn't sign on to help us do an art project in a year that sure could use one. They are: Michelin, Chopard, Polyphony, Champion, and Meguiar's. (Mainly, we just wanted to see the GT2 RS/CS in a cool livery and maybe just maybe drive one on Pikes Peak as part of a storyline—because who doesn't want to drive a 991 on Pikes Peak without the usual speed limit? Somehow, they agreed to help us make it happen.)
And then, in a magic bit of serendipity, it turned into a full-blown racing program for six-time Pikes Peak winner David Donner.

What's interesting is most racing media has yet to pick up on Donner's entry in Time Attack 1 or what it triggered: David Donohue moving out of the Open class and into TA1. That triggered a lot of laughs on a call from David, as he has run a 000 sticker on his helmet at Pikes Peak and elsewhere (which we've been super thankful for). Will be interesting to see if he keeps it…
…and good fun to watch a bit of proper motorsport this year…
I really enjoyed the piece on driving the 917K too, but I was especially intrigued by the short section on the 901 afterwards. It would be great if you would be able to dive into it more deeply for a future 000 issue at some point — I assume this is #57 from the Museum.

You know, it's funny: Even with a 260 page magazine with 95% editorial content, you find yourself running out of space from time to time.
Perhaps that's something to revisit one dayas the Museum's 901 drove so much better than the 1965 911 I drove years ago. That drive was quite a cap to two wild, wild days. Some outtakes below...

Thanks for sharing, Pete. My favorite is the one of that guy grinning from ear to ear behind the wheel of the 917K! ;-)

I can imagine that! Its possible the suspension on #57 was updated; I remember reading on the Early 911S forum that its not completely correct. Although in that case, adding some seat belts wouldnt have been a bad upgrade either.
Thanks for the extra photos! Definitely looks like two awesome days.

Hello, I've got a few questions regarding the stunning GT2 RS Art Car:
1. Is there a list of all the PTS colours used on this car? (Ruby, Riviera, Signal, Mint, Lava(?), Maritime,...??)
2. Will there be a 1/18 or 1/43 modelcar?

Hello all, putting finishing touches on Issue 016, but thank you (!!) for your interest and quick notes on the above:
1. Re: the 000 Art Car and the colors it pays homage to: Something we've learned with the S slip cases as well as Rare Shades in general is that 1) it's very tricky to duplicate a given color (Irish Green, Rubystone, etc), and more than a few concours cars no longer match their original color, and 2) there are often multiple colors under one name, and then even those can change due to paint technology and spray outs…not to mention the car they're painted on. That's a whole subject to itself, but the colors seen on the art car faced one challenge more: They're rendered in vinyl. So I'm hesitant to say they're "this" or "that." But I see references to Mint Green, Crystal Blue, Mexico Blue, Rubystar/stone, Rose Red, Peru Red….
2. These questions have come up recently from another course—as we are working on models of the art car with Spark, to do something special for our subscribers in celebration of David Donner's unexpected win. Not sure we'll carry them on the website, but more to come on that…
