700HP, 20 hours, 1 speeding ticket and a bag of wasabi peas.

The AWE Tuning Indy 500 Road Trip.

Proving once again that our fastest possible daily drivers are just that (daily drivers), we just returned from our 20 hour road trip to Indy. A full day in our resident AWE Tuning supercar was only trumped by that photo finish! Car ran perfectly, despite the 100 degree “spirited” driving. The AWE Tuning 997.2TT couldn’t be missed, as seen here on the shoulder of I-70.

Enjoy!

What a great road trip and what an exciting race! Well OK, the last corner of the last lap was exciting.

I am assuming that it was Todd who got rewarded for excessive velocity.

Nope, Todd was the photographer in the passenger seat.

Just the luck of the draw in Ohio. Timed by airplane (Bear in the Air).

Thanks for sharing the story and photos, but I HAVE to ask what color that is on the Turbo. That's the color I want, but I don't know the name. Thanks.

Curious: What velocity/circumstances caused the 1 yr. suspension in Ohio?

It's Aqua Blue. If you think it looks good in pictures, you should see it in person. It's a stunning color.

License revoked for a year? There's either a great part to this story that we're missing, or you were flying like a bat out of hell.
