Default This is real DE Cup racing

multi class and generation and even include a KTM X-Bow. If you got the car, bring it. This is how real man race. 993 is kicking everyone's behind including GT3 R.

skip to 3:50 in this video unless you speak German

Nice. Looks like the KTM has too much rear brake bias..

it's fun to see all sorts of different makes and generation cars on the track racing at the same time. Once in a while we get similar scene at my local tracks

That is the real. New cars are faster, but only marginally so when paired with a pro team and pro drivers getting every ounce of performance from the car. Many times some of the updates can be applied to prior model years and reduce the gap even more.

Also at work here is a case of torque winning races for the 993. Good to see Europeans catching on to Corvette's performance.

I get nervous racing with open wheel cars. Not much protection for them if they get ram by an enclosed car

Most of us get caught in the new car + bigger power = faster car trap. Like you said, a well prepped race car within the last 15 years will be top contender in the right hand. There is a pretty good size following in Europe for none BMW and P-cars. They do appreciate low running cost value such as Chevy
