My wife and I happened to visit the Penske compound at RennSport III while they were getting the RS Spyder ready for its track laps. First off, the crew checks all four tires by rolling the car back and forth.
  The engine bay looks more like the satellites I have seen close up than a car. There is lots of gold heat shield foil, high tech connectors, and everything is neatly labeled and perfectly clean.  |

Cruising through the paddock on the way to the track and I am thinking, "You are one lucky dude to be driving this car." None of the crew guys had ever gotten to drive the car, only the test drivers and race drivers. The RS Spyder is for sale if you have around $2,000,000 handy. The crew guys said they expect there to be between 5 and 9 racing next year.
 On track for some demonstration/parade laps. While they could not do full speed laps due to all the other cars, they did some fast blasts down the straights. At one point it looked like he was setting up a drag race with a 962 but they never really went full out.  At the concours the next day.  Hope you enjoyed the pictures...go to RennSport IV in three years if there is any way you can for pure Porsche overload... John |
