Ahhhh the joy of the GT1.

Makes me love my 996.1 headlights even more.

Owned the GT1 for 13 years and that was the first time it was in public???

These cars were meant to be turned on and have the crap driven out of them

Good for the McLaren owner that actually takes his out and drives it

Really enjoyed watching that! I never understood buying a "supercar" and leaving it parked...

Saw a video of Tiff Niedel from the old top gear driving a silver mark 1 GT3. That is the best looking 911 in the best color

If you're a fan of Nick Mason AND of iconic race cars being driven the way they should, then I highly recommend his book titled "Into the Red". It comes with a CD containing tracks of the engine sounds from each car as they are driven around Silverstone Raceway. Fantastic read.

Well, sorta, but I was hoping for about 90% less Howard Stern.
