Yo Leroy!
Nice job! Made me feel like I was there. Someday...
The Nurburgring is one of those things that shouldn't exist in modern society, which makes it so appealing. It's a HUGE parcel of land, a giant track dropped smack in the middle of a large forest. Navigating this track, even for professionals, is an extreme challenge. The risk to drivers is high, which scares off investors and makes lawyers salivate. 50 years ago, this kind of thing wasn't a big deal. Now, with land being at a premium and schools churning out 10 law students for every doctor, it's almost not worth the risk. Enjoy it while you can, I would suggest.
I grew up thinking John Player was some millionaire James Bond-type playboy who dabbled in auto racing. I was seriously disappointed later in life to learn it was just a cigarette brand...
I remember when the AMG Hammer came out. That set the standard for sleepers. Great article!
I didn't get it at first. The gaudy colors, the odd rims, unfinished front bumper, the tacky interior and obnoxious sticker bombing. Once you get to all the details, the blue script on top of pink paint, the bike rack, the dice caps, then you start to realize it's an art piece, more an abstract take on a feverish trendy scene that seems to be taking hold of motorsports. Maybe by taking it to a offensive extreme, Nagano can bring it back to a discipline. Just my 2¢.
Great photos! Must be surreal to be around so much historical machinery.
@speedhunters_dino Thanks, Dino!
That GT86 with the custom LFA-style front bumper nailed it. I imagine a bumper like that is JDM-only?
Never thought of the Cressida as more than a Triple-G (grandma grocery getter) but this is a valiant effort. Bravo!
If the average low-drag semi gets about 6 mpg, I wonder what these rolling artworks average?
Rear end from a Bentley, front end (and engine) from a GTR... madness!
Done right! Great job...
Ana Cheri INDEED!
Carbon ceramic brakes? Wow, the Camaro has come a LONG way. Bravo, GM.
Great article and fantastic photography! Great job.
Great write-up, Larry. The only engine i've heard with a sweeter sound than the M3's V8 is the RS4's. Maybe you could get a side-by-side sound off going.
