Default Two white US spec GT2s at the 'ring

Didn't see them on the track, but there were two white GT2s parked on the side of the road. Anyone here?

I collected my UK spec black GT2 on Friday from the factory and met a very nice pair of US gentlemen, one of whom was collecting a white US-spec GT2.

I know they had booked a ring-taxi ride on either Monday or Tuesday, so would guess that one of them was theirs.

I saw them both yesterday parked on the uphill next to Altes-Forthaus. I passed one of them at the track. Beautiful car and pretty quick on a straight (I was driving the 996GT3RS - the one with the silver wheels and lexan windows).

And guess who started to peel off some stickers this morning only to be told that we have to leave them on for a photo shoot...

...trip review coming soon. Check the Axis blog later this week. Some good traqmate telemetry data (GT3RS vs. 996Carrera vs. Alfa75).
I'm spoiled! Two full consecutive days of beautiful weather is unheard of...
