When you see the amount of VIN RUF cars in this little country you would immediately understand why RUF has chosen it. Definitely the highest RUF density per capita in the world.
Today's conversation with Khalid was as follows:
Me: Khalid I saw a nice CTR2 in some pictures of last year's shootout, who owns it?
Khalid: Well it is a cousin, would you like to see it, and his other two Yellowbird CTRs?
Me: Well if you insist....
So khalid will try to set me up to do a run against those 3 wonders on Wednesday morning, right Khalid? I am sure the AX22 will look great on a CTR2 windscreen j/k
Cheers

Any RUF car is welcome to run against me in Bahrain, just seeing them parked next to me would be enough adrenalin! The CTR2 Sport must be an animal.

Guys, you ain't seen nothing yet, follow the link below
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ht=ruf+bahrain

These were a few pictures I took a couple a years ago at one of the Speed Trips (CGT was a different event) at the BIC (Bahrain International Circuit). When I left the BIC that day, I saw another drive in (Gulf Blue)...

Next Speed Trip is on Thursday. Khalid, Jean and hopefully Ziad -- c u there

That's the CTRII I was talking about. Next to it is the owner's CTRI yellow bird and the white narrow body RUF R turbo. That was a one-off with the 650 engine. All are ,obviously, RUF VIN cars.

Jean, you must keep us posted from your side of the fence. I'm at RUF over here almost daily, but it's nice to get first hand updates from your side of the pond.

That CTR2 is exactly like LAT's from this board (Except his is a demonish Black).
As you know it is in Pfaffenhausen right now getting "TUNED UP !!!"
