Mad Gulf 996 - Donington

[v15ben]

Spotted at a Donington open pit lane trackday today, a mad 911.
It was a 996 painted in Gulf racing colours and had gullwing doors. It sounded awesome and looked brilliant. Is it a car from any GT racing series?

There was also a 996 GT3RS and a 993 Carrera RS lapping very rapidly!

I was one of the two 993 RS's there yesterday (Silver one). Lots of fun and excellent weather.

The 996 racecar was this one

It has just been bought on Friday, is going to be racing this year. It didn't have gull wings unfortunately - just ones that you could remove at the hinges!

The 996 looked very nice, we didn't really get chance to look at it properly as we turned up at the session about 3.30 as it was drawing to a close.
There were some very nice cars out on track as well, especially the Porsche contingent.
Your 993 was going very well and we were stood on the pit wall enjoying the show. You seemed to be getting a lot of speed on the main straight down towards the first corner. First class car!
