Interesting link you posted... http://www.auto-otaku.com/home/2008/03/coverage-idlers.html


And whats most interesting in the link is that unlike the similar wide body Gemballas etc, these things are ACTUALLY tracked.. which makes a difference, downforce is useful on a racetrack, less so on the Kings Road

Re; the above point, these cars are ACTUALLY tracked, I witnessed this today at a rain sodden Fuji Speedway Idlers event. I also had the pleasure of meeting Nakai san, the man behind these RWB creations in Japan. A very humble and self effacing man who on the track, is inspiring. As were the other guys driving these cars and who were also actually DRIFTING them in appalling wet conditions... :worship: Skid pan at Silverstone, pah.

I'm sure that for even those who struggle with the aesthetics of these RWB interpretations, once you see and hear them hurtle around a track (and yes, some of them do spit fire), you would admire the passion of these 911 owners. I was. But no, I haven't got the balls (or the budget) to turn up in one of these :grin:

Enjoy,

TJ
