Also I've always loved the look of the late 70s C3. Those front fenders. :3:

No idea on the bumps, but that's a '68-72 model C3. They stopped using chrome bumpers in 73.

There's multiple classes. Millen won time attack with a 9:46.164*, this won Unlimited being driven by David Donner with a 10:04.652. But yes Millen was faster in a "Hyundai".

Compact, i guess, and low yes. Small? I've seen one in person here in LA and It's no small car.

It's size is more impressive when you see how loving big the engine block is:



It's a bad picture, but the thing is like 700mm long or so and by the time you've got all the turbos and plumbing bolted on is immense.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

I've seen several and sat in one and I would consider it small. Same length as a civic, 6 inches wider than an accord, 5 inches lower than an S2000. It just looks big.

when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

Holy crap, that's got to be the first Porsche I've seen with rear wheel steering. I don't think he ever flicks the wheel over 90 degrees in one direction that entire video.

The commenters on YouTube are bitching about his driving. Crap track driver or not, it's a very very very expensive car, which is notoriously hard to drive and he's got it out on one of the hardest circuits in the world. Guy deserves props for not leaving it in the garage.

A yellow CTR or Yellowbird video was the first time I had ever seen or heard of the 'ring. It may have been that specific video as I remember the bikes passing. This was back before Youtube. And before the Ring had ever been included in a Videogame. I remember awhile later it appeared on Gotham Racing for the first xbox.

I remember thinking "What is this road it looks amazing. Surely this cant be a racetrack? It never seems to end!"

Near my parents house there is a black and yellow Porsche Carrera GT with yellow wheels and a "Geballa" banner somewhere on it. I dont know if that is special or not but it sure sounds nice.

The cars are cool, but I hate the state of Colorado for paving the whole course. That little thing has no business on Pikes Peak, even though it's badass.
