Yeah, good for them for giving it a go themselves.


The only thing is, a few weeks ago I read an article on edmonds where they talked with a group of porsche test drivers and such and Porsche drivers pretty much discredtied the 'ring as a credible number by which to guage performance. They said that the way companies measure often differ. The point at which they start the clock differs, speed from the start line, the end point and all that. Now seeing them call BS on it seems a bit contradictory. Although these differing stories could also be different people speaking for Porsche. I know one in the first argument was Walter Rohl, Porsche's test driver from the recorded run in the 997 Turbo.
