993 goodness in the hands of a Pro! 
Any insights to the rear wing air inlet on the #22, appears to be closed of in the picture? Compare to the #23 wing is open (black hole). Is it just the angle of the photo on #22 compare to #23, thus blocked in the picture by the C-piller / blue passenger side mirror?

They were restored to as they raced in 1999 Daytona and Sebring.. So that is how they were.. I asked why the difference but that was 15 years ago and there wasn't much of an answer.. 2 different engineers on each car i believe.. They were a little different from each other all around..

Thanks for sharing. Love the sound of the air cooled flat 6. Love the look of the 993-based car. I competed in a go-kart endurance race in 1999 (iirc) and AJR had all of their employees competing in multiple karts as a team building event. Randy Pobst had been driving the #23 car for AJR until this point but he had been testing the 996-based car (at Daytona, I think) and I remember him extolling the aerodynamic virtues of the new car and saying how much more top end it had just due to aero. While the 996 platform may be slicker, I have to say that I am still partial to that 993 version.
