Thread: Motorsport deep dark rabbit hole...

The old man's done it this year in a slower than most porsche. I went to the levels race and helped out. Luckily bot much to go wrong with the factory porsche. When a $700k merc takes out a Honda crv down the front straight it certainly puts things back into perspective of how much money is flying around

Same merc hit us twice at puna.
Lucky we were able to finish. Surprised the tyre stayed inflated the wheel was that buggered.
Speed difference is quite huge on the straights but we found most of those GT3s held us up in the infield, or couldn't go round the corners any faster.
They just got there and pulled away 10x quicker.

Have just seen the bill sent to 1 of the teams that was running 2 Porsches in the endurance series....not including the damage repairs... 625k

Ouch! I was spending 40 a year without the basic bike/s cost and was always stretched, always chasing for a little more sponsorship - how the fuck do the car guys find that kind of dough?!! (and in a country with 3rd world dental care.....) racing is a nasty evil addiction that makes one a slave to finding that next 10th of a second, and you get to discover the crazy that comes out when the red mist come down.......
