Tim Schrick can drive for sure... remember that video of him sliding the CGT around those mountain roads?

Oh, and a bit of completely useless trivia-- I heard he from the same family as the company bearing the name that's known for Schrick racing cams (for BMW M3's) and a lot of other motorsports components.

Anybody know if this is true?

I'd love to see a Walter Rohrl lap in a CTR3.

Just a little side note. RUF actually gets empty body shells from Porsche and builds the car from the ground up, so it's not a rebuild. Otherwise I don't think they can get their own VIN numbers on the cars.
