Was lucky enough to drive 73 RSR 0865 at Spa Francorchamps with Gold Track . The first time Brumos 95 has been to Spa in its illustrious career .
Managed a few laps until The noise police sent me home .
Will be back in june with a switchable megaphone system .
The car was MASSIVELY surprising . It seemed to weigh nothing . It was fast and so , so loud . I had a feeling it was too loud when I drove past the start finish line and caught people in the corner of my eye with fingers in their ears mouthing " f++++++ hell! " . The turn in , the brakes , the way it dealt with curbs was astounding , you know what they say about werks cars , they just werk !
These things must have been like spaceships in 73 .
It turned it so well and the slingshot out of corners was such a surprise . The car was running the standard 2.8 l engine not the trick 3.0 that the mighty Neil Bainbridge is building for her .
It was a very emotional experience , Just to sit in the car nearly bought tears to my eyes . A dream come true .
A few of my porsche mates on here asked to see some pics and vids so here we are :
BTW a huge thank you to Michael Roock and his team for running the car so well .

They were probably just vocalising their joy at hearing a proper Porsche.I remember hearing an ST still in race set up running and then tare arsing around the quiet N. Yorks roads, you could hear it going for a week, absolutely stunning and pretty much made an F1 car sound like a pusssy.

Utterly fabulous. Much is spoken about what a real Porsche is. It's that.

That knocks every single be-winged, air conditioned, leather ash trayed, tacky stickered, pointless PCB'd, overweight, over sized, tech laden GT3 variant into a tin hat.
I thought my 73 RS was up there, 'that' is on another planet.
thats very kind , funny though as my ultimate is a 73 rs as you can enjoy it on the road I thought my 73 RS was up there, 'that' is on another planet.

thanks mate . the sad thing is after we modified the pipes it was only 1 db too loud but they would not have it .I remember hearing an ST still in race set up running and then tare arsing around the quiet N. Yorks roads, you could hear it going for a week, absolutely stunning and pretty much made an F1 car sound like a pusssy.
very frustrating
