Congrats on the strong finish, Tom! I love that flying over the bridge pic too. Besides, the 10km/h speed limit only applies when you are "on" the bridge. lol!

And people think I'm a nut because I want to campaign a 959 in the Targa. This dude has an actual Enzo that goes into the drink. What a bummer, happens to the best of US that is for sure.

Wow Tom, real fantastic result in such a big race. Congratulations! Thanks for the pictures, really enjoy seeing the orange RS in action.

Looks like the shocks are agreeing with you. Much improvement over the damptronics?

Truly awesome undertaking and result, congrats on the entire experience!

Quick question: do you have TC on or off when driving the timed stages, or does it depend on stage + conditions?

TC off on all stages including wet short stages with lots of sharp turns. I like the ability to break loose on purpose and do controlled slides.

The only time i use TC during targa is if it is a long high speed stage in the rain with little turns.
