    Jim,

    This is a really cool project you've put together. Sorry if this has already been covered but when is the race going to be? And is there going to be an online stream from the cockpit?

    Thanks,
    Brad

    Something like this is such a huge team effort. I'm sure you've forged some new friendships out of this. Probably more to come.

    Oh **** yeah!

    Congrats on getting so much done so quickly and so well!

    I was curious which of your P45 cars looks prettier to your eye? The Enzo based or the F430 based?

    My next question is what are each like to drive?

    It's like my kids. I Love them equally.

    P 4/5 has a lot more power but P 4/5 C has MUCH more down force. Both are very easy to drive and very comfortable.

    They feel very similar from the drivers seat but P 4/5 C is clearly a lot faster around a track.

    P 4/5 C feels like an F3. Massive grip.

    We're going to run our first three races at the Ring in natural cf as it's easier/faster to make slight changes and repair damage. I really like how she looks au natural.

    If we do decide to have a livery we'll wrap her as it's lighter weight.

    No matter what she won't have massive sponsor livery just simple sticker like labels as they did back in the day.

    Best!

    I'll be watching the ADAC 24h on german TV (Sport1/DSF) The 2:nd placed 430 last year (Hankook livery) did the longest jump. Front wheels were almost a foot up in the air. Good luck and be prepared for Nürburgring.

    P40 with P4/5C at Nürburgring 24h today. Not bad for first time with the car. It's called the green hell for a reason. Plenty of TV coverage on german Sport1 channel too. Please come back for more races. F1 has been boring for years.

    On the podium.
    1 Porsche 997
    2 BMW M3
    3 Audi R8 LMS

    Team Farnbacher F458 qualified on pole 2 seconds faster than runner up but managed P8 after some lengthy pitstops.

    Rain on saturday but cleared up today. 202 cars entered the race. Very few had unscratched bodywork at the end.
