Maybe I'm getting too excited too fast, but how does a German/US Tuner Olympics sound?

By chance I met fellow 6speed member Marx on another thread and the possibility may exist.

Can you imagine Manthey, TTP, 9ff, Techart, Gemballa, Ruf matching their best with EVOMS, S Car Go Racing, Imagine Auto, PES, Autothority, Orbit, Akkurat, OrtonUSA, FVDUSA, CargraphicUSA and TRG just to mention a few.

Imagine the above getting together in a place like Nardo and then coming to Road America or Infineron.

I can only hope something comes of this.

 

I don’t know if that would ever happen, but if there is another shoot out next year PSI-Motorsport will compete.

Neil,

Probably not with everyone mentioned, however, it would only take a few major hitters on both sides of the Atlantic to make this a hugh news attraction.

I can just see these cars coming off the airplanes now.

When you say next year, I hope you aren't refering to 2006. Their will be a 2005 Shootout for sure. Tim and Irene from the High Roller Twin Turbo Shootout are planning it now.

 

That would be cool. Sounds like a mission impossible to pull that off. " Do you accept the mission Jim ??? This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds..."

 

I mean the 2005 Shoot out. Our RTS-4 and the 997tt Race car will be here by the summer.

 

wow! it will be crazy and awesome!

 

997TT will be out by summer???!!!

 

Lou, It’s a 997tt homologated race car.GT2R

 

that would be a dream come true

 

Anyone with military or pentagon connections should think about pulling some strings and getting sponsorship from them.

This can be part of a goodwill "visit-the-troops" gig. We should get C5 transports for the cars. Land in a US airbase in Germany, and do highspeed shootouts right there for the troops to see. Then you can detour to Nardo or the Ring

Who can pull it off? Wardhog where are you?

 

Well, thanks cjv for having and introducing this great idea. As I already pointed out in that other thread, I run http://www.elfer-club.de (translation is "Eleven's Club", but the website is also reachable through www.evolution911.com), which is a website and a forum for German 911-enthusiasts. There are around 5 or 6 independant, but popular Porsche forums in Germany and Elfer-Club.de is one of them.

We/I do have some contacts to German tuners and I will try to point their attention towards this event. I would be very excited about an international even too, but first let's see how realistic it is to bring over the spark to e.g. TechArt.

It surely helps that the event's homepage is so good and professionally looking. I will keep you updated with my progress. So let's hope cjv's cool idea has a chance to become reality.

 

Sounds like a cool event to me, but we are a German tuner not US . We are just the US distributer . If somthing like this were to happen, our car would most likely come from FVD Germany....

Hey Chad,

As great as an idea as it sounds, trsut me it'll NEVER happen. I tried twice two years running to get any of the "big" dogs from Europe to come. FVD was big enough to step up (good for them too) this year but other than them foggedaboutit. They have way too much to loose. Their products are obviously awesome but _if_ they were to loose to some of the US tuners whose products are much less then they're not going to look too good as a result are they?

 

PSI will be there. We are going to fly a car in just for the shootout.
Lets get ready to rumble

 

Evan,

I don't believe that would be any problem. PS, we still like you and FVD.
