Hi Kaizu

Just thought I should clarify, the 6:40s is correct but it was done during a flying lap trying to beat the record, not during the 24 hours. During the 24 hours, he did have 7:30s as an average for a while, to put things into perspective to some, this is the fastest Walter Rohl was able to drive the CGT on the 'Ring.

Alzen's car had more than $500,000 of modifications, I believe the 4WD and traction control system alone were about 100k USD. Specially dedicated Bosch race engineers, KKK motorsports division engineers and RS Tuning among many others, spent months working on the car. I posted an article about the car a while back on this forum, I don't have it handy.

Great project!

I have plans to build a racecar of a 996tt myself, so this is a very interesting thread!

I am wondering if it would have been cheaper to buy a high mileage 996tt rather than this crashed version and spend time/money on repairs?

Are you staying with AWD, or converting to 2WD?
