i am obsessed with that blue porsche :laugh:

highlights of the day included driving the clio with white bonnet in the top pic for 5 laps and blagging a passenger ride for a whole 20 minute session in the liveried rs200 in the pouring rain :smiley: i had a permanent grin for a good hour afterwards, it was running 2bar of boost :shocked:

i think this day has just started an expensive hobby :grin:

The Orange one looks like a 993 GT2 which is a serious bit of turbo Porsche. Probably over £100k

The blue one looks like either an 911 RS or RSR which are now both seriously sought after, probably £60 to £100k. Its got the wide turbo body so could be a modified turbo car.

The RS200 is also a serious bit of kit, would love to have a go in that. They changed the rallying rules when the RS200 and Metro 6R4 came out because they were far too powerful. I think they were only allowed to compete for 1 season.

RS200 FTW. Best ford ever made.
