Default Mika Hakkinen driving Porsche again!

This weekend, Mika Hakkinen will sit behing the wheel of an Porsche Supercup car again (in Finland, one race of the Nordic Supercup series, he will be driving the "visitor" car).

We know he really can drive F1 car well and those who saw him last time driving Porsche, knows what he can also do with Porsche (driving the "visitor" car, he won outright two races he did in -90s 964 supercup series).

Rumor is he will be testing Williams F1 car this summer but I'd like to see him at Le Mans!

I've also read the rumors that he will be testing for Williams, but I'd rather have JV and Athony Davidson, personally.

I'll take Mika's wife though.

I'd like to see him back in F1 - I think he is really the only one with both the head and the hands to give our boy any competition.

I was at Trackmasters on Wednesday and Thursday at WGI. One of the C2's he drove in the early 90's was there. Beautiful car.

993 - that is the one that has scratches on the driver mirror from where he reapetedly nicked the armco at Monaco on his way to winning. His German cup mechanics said he was a God.

special tool,

those scrathes aren't there anymore. I saw that car at FVD while ago when they had restored it (if his is the blue & white car).

Too shame they fixed the scrathes though, those mechanics said he touched the armco pretty much on every lap, yet it never fell of, stunning drive that was....

As 993 said, that "Mika 964" is absolutely beautiful piece of machinery!

Petu my friend
It seems you are back in the states! Will you be at Moroso for the June 19th event?? We haven't seen you in a while.
