GTR at The Ring

Hey Gang,
http://www.motorworld.net/forum/%5BURL=http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gtrattheringsp3.png%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3199/gtrattheringsp3.th.png%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5Dhttp://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3199/gtrattheringsp3.th.png (http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gtrattheringsp3.png)

I just captured this off of the Nurburgring web cam. In the following frame (which I didn't capture) the GTR was closer and had a Gran Turismo badge on the hood. The car behind is a Porsche Carrera GThttp://www.motorworld.net/forum/%5BURL=http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gtrattheringsp3.png%5D%5BIMG%5Dhttp://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3199/gtrattheringsp3.th.png%5B/IMG%5D%5B/URL%5D I wonder what's going on there today?.

That doesn't look like the CGT to me. Notice the hood scoop. It looks like the new RUF CTR3. Wonder what that thing'll do.

[sirstig]

Yep looks like you're right. I just noticed a second GTR on the left. I realize now that that was the end of their session. The info at the Nurburgring site didn't say much.

A little OT, but I didn't want to start another thread on this. Saw this posted by "taunus" on fchat and it looks like we finally have some Ring times for the Enzo and MC12:

Maserati MC12: 7:24,29
Pagani Zonda F Clubsport: 7:24,65
Ferrari Enzo: 7:25,21
Porsche Carrera GT: 7:28,71
Koenigsegg CCX: 7:33,55

Driver was Marc Basseng.

Some little clips:
YouTube
Pagani Zonda V12 - Amazing sound!!!!!!! - Nordschleife - YouTube
Enzo Ferrari exiting the karussell - Nordschleife 08 - YouTube

EDIT: I just have to say that Zonda sounds AWESOME!!!

Porsche guys are gonna s*@t themselves

^You're kidding, right? A Ruf CTR3 would step on the GT-R like a bug.

[jsinaga]

For the cost it had better step on alot of things like a bug. Im referring to the supercar ring times in the post above me.

^We won't know till Marc Basseng gets his hand on one of those GT-Rs eh? ;-)
