Default Francois to drive 3.8 RS for WRC
Great interview with Francois Delecour driving the Tuthill 3.8 RS rally machine.

A few test videos. Skip to 3-4 min mark to see him tear it up in the RS. It's in French..

Chris Harris and Delecour go for a ride.

The GT3 sounds amazing as always. The car in the video was an older car from another team.

The Tuthill car is a newly homologated car. Romain Dumas will also be driving a Porsche but his will be. 4.0. Both cars are restricted due to regulations. Racing starts tonight . 3.8 vs 4.0.
I say Delecour wins in the 3.8 mainly because he's a nut bag on tarmac.

That second video is awesome! I love the look on Chris Harris' face as Delecour fllogs that RS! LOL

It struck me at some point as I watched that video for the third time that Delecour looks a bit like Michael Richards (Seinfeld's Kramer)

Romain Dumas is rallying an actual 4.0 RS. Nice to see one of the 600 being used they it was meant to.

4.0RS was spotted at Laguna DE day a few weeks back. Was driven by a young (early 20's) european guy and according to my track buddies, he was quite fast..

Great stuff!
Francois is an incredible driver & it's great to see these privateers driving Porsches.
Thanks for posting.

You lucky son of a... Spectating WRC events is way too much fun. Hope he makes up some time on Romain.
