Mike is right, but the event at Road Atlanta was called "Petit Le Mans", so somewhat confusing. Driver was Yannick Dalmas.

Lucky last. Do I win?

By the way, most of these shots were taken at a 6-day tarmac rally called the Targa Tasmania, in Australia. The most fun event you can do with your car, period!

You are correct Mike, it was Road Atlanta in 98.

Arnaud, going airborne at the cyclone is a scary thought. Are you doing NCRC in November? Boris?

deep_purple. That's an interesting wing on that 993....

Graham wins.
Now that's what I would call "Autocross"

Great pictures, Graham. I've had my 993 (not mine anymore, sold it to Suwipin, who sold it to AW) at least that high three times in one day on G16 on the way to Laguna Seca. Perfect landings every time, never scraped.

Don't worry Arnaud, it had Supercup suspension on it then, not the current PSS-9's...

the car that time was a merc i believe.

EDIT: apologies...note that Mike in Chi already mentioned that....
