Default Porsche club trackday-weekend pics

I wasn't focusing too much on making good pics, just snapped everything randomly between track time images/smilies/smile.gif

This first one is a Porsche Cup racer, he was supposed to make a show-lap, but didn't. Dunno, maybe he did while I was out eating, or maybe there was some reason for not doing it.

This is budget racer kinda images/smilies/smile.gif There are more of them, and later in the evening they had a little race. Though it's based on ordinary 944, with tough suspension and stripped chassis it's very very fast.

Another budget-racer. Again, suspension costs two times more than car images/smilies/smile.gif

A rare sight (here at least), 924 Carrera GT. There were 2 of them, didn't catch other one on camera though.

968CS. Very high on my realistic dream car list. The peak of Porsche's front-engined line images/smilies/drool.gif But prices for this one are around same range as first Boxsters I think, and most people go for Boxster. I would probably too. But this one is sweeet.

Ruf turbo mega strosek. Ooh, the noise this thing makes... Actually a racer too (not so budget), but road legal. There are more pics of it following.

Its the 924 Carrera GT for me. Sweet & old school cool. Its the only car you can paint up in racing colors and drive it on the street and nobody would think your a fool. Homologation specials rule.

You would really take an early boxster over a 968CS? Really? images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Well this is a difficult one (as I haven't driven either of them images/smilies/lol.gif), but you get to choose between perfection of Porsches FR-transaxle design, and early (probably not S) version of MR. The origin of first one is the entry-level Porsche, the origin of second is about the best roadster on market. Go figure which is better...
