    that's an incredibly expensive machine to go up against Corvettes and 911 Cup cars...

    but, WC has a diverse field and great action, so good for him.

    That's an incredibly expensive machine to own when you don't have a guaranteed series to run it!

    The R8 has a surprisingly low operating cost compared to other cars in the Grand Am field. I suspect the cost savings would be similar in World Challenge. If of course there is a World Challenge; a series which makes no sense to me when compared to Grand Am. Then again that is another conversation all together.
