I participated on the 12th at Barber Motorsports Park and spent a few hours at the incredible motorcycle museum on the evening of the 11th. Been to this museum several times and it keeps improving evry time I visit.

Regarding the 918;

Although I kind of like the retro graphics in all of the photos, I thought the car looked rediculous (in person) in the retro liveries....... way too "Boy Racer" which might be fine on a +/- 120k GT3 but not on a million dollar Super Car !

The display car in the upper floors of the timing tower was breath-taking in a beautiful silver and from several angles definitely showed some influences from it's 718GTR Coupe and 904 predecessors.

Barber facilities and museum are second to none in the country, food was nice but the "Resort" was not I hope, to Porsche standards ! The folks from Stuttgart need to go to a few events put on by other manufacturers to see what a resort should be !

All in all, nice event and if Porsche will paint my 918 in "65 Bali Blue or '73 Oxford Blue, I might be in !

No interest in the 918 but if you still have it maybe I can find a way to take that blue thingy off your hands

The 918 will be an awesome machine, no doubt, one of the advantages you will get is a VIP treatment for all future models,I:e 1st right of refusal, I am told that the Ross bridge is the only fancy resort in all of the great state of Alabama. Very nicely done event as always and the school guys are best
