[s-cars] Colin McRae Top Gear test drive of Prodrive 911RSR vs. 2004 WRX STi Rally

[Taka Mizutani]

Thanks, you and Justy are founts of knowledge!

They had a one-make series for the 961? That must have been a big failure-
the M1 Procar series
didn't ever get off the ground because the cars were so freaking expensive.

Too bad we don't get to watch Supercup in the States- it's like NASCAR on a
road course, but with
Porsches. :-)
