Awesome. I always wondered what the atmosphere was like in the car waiting for the tow, never thought there'd be video of it!

That's exiting nearly as good as watching F1 live!

Keep us updated. Who's next?

I have decided to go with road tyres.

Not worth the risk (and if there are some sunny spells - I might just be cannon fodder for the 964 boys).

Graeme,

Is it too late to place a tyre order and get a delivery to catch mainfreight container?

Reminded me of the first time out in the 944 - huge smile!! And lots of appreciation for John making it happen.

Its definitely capable of more - suspect the competition will go up a few notches every time something's replaced (tyres, new pads etc!)

Turn 1 =

That was a huge amount of fun, thanks John. A shame the brake pads didn't last long enough for you to get a full session in

The goods have to be at Mainfreight's depot in the USA by the 11th August. If you order from tirerack within the next couple of days you will be fine.
