The RUF Yellow Beast

That's what I'm going to call it.

Unfortunately, this is the only car I had time to play with tonight, and let me tell you, what a humbling experience. I ran a 4 lap race around Road Atlanta, thinking, I drive that '82 911 turbo pretty good, how hard can this be?

Well, on my third attempt to finish the first lap without spinning off, I finally managed to finish the race fairly clean, but I had sweat coming off my brow and I was sawing at the wheel like the crazy dude in the Nurburgring video, that I'm sure everyone has seen by now.

It also likes to catch air on the crest of every hill making for some drifty, tailhappy landings.

What a load of fun!

And that would be why they call it the Yellow Bird.
