And its focus is on the 911, not the other Porsche race cars.

BTW, at first look, it's great. Lots of classic pictures and much to read about.

Hey Charlie, Porsche Sport '93 has a pictue of the #13 Obermeier Cup driven by Andreas Fuchs on page 30. Looks like the front bumper/spoiler needed a replacement (obviously, all of the Cups sustained damage at one time or another). The photo right next to it is my "MacSource" Cup driven by Toni Seiler that shows a crunched front fender as well.
Page 49 also features a full page shot of the #13 at Hockenheim, once again driven by Andreas Fuchs. The rear bumper has been replaced as well.
Page 50 show the same car leading a pack of cars at Zolder. According to the book, the Obermeier team finished tied for 5th place in the Supercup standings, while Andreas Fuchs came in at #12 in the Driver standings.
Let me know if you want any other info.
Mike

Reading thru those books and watching the DVD's and seeing the car you're driving is a bit distressing at times.

Yeah, some of the pictures of cup cars in this new book shows them bouncing all over the place. Rarely did they have more than 3 wheels touching the track. Would you have bought your cars if you knew what really happened to them?
