Amazing. Pictures (being shot by a pro, I suppose there isn't a chance of seeing them in desktop resolution -1280x960- ... a shame), cars ... looked like an awesome time.
But I prefer Jeremy Clarkson to Tiff. The former is a better entertainer IMO

To answer the questions in turn....
1. Straight-line for high speed is a lot of fun and suited for Porsches.....
2. Kev, yes its Simon's Murcie as featured in Evo magazine.
3. My GT2 with the Nardo engine is now much faster then with the Ruf 550bhp engine. The true bhp is much more than the 590bhp quoted - typical Ruf conservative claim.
4. I have no video, but Adam took loads and hopefully he should post some at some point. He videoed a head-to-head run between the CTR and my car from 0-193mph side-by-side. The CTR was slightly quicker at low speed as a result of being featherlight (2400lb) but my car caught up at the higher speeds.
5. The feature will be broadcast on 11th April here, so hopefully someone will put it online shortly after.
6. Vicki was not there.
7. R-GT2 Nardo is a fair bit quicker than the RTurbo, as it's much lighter and now has more power than it. CTR and R-GT2 are a very close match for speed. Adams CTR is very special though, it's the last one built (in 1992) and has lots of carbon panels and well over 500bhp, it a fantastic, legendary machine and devastatingly quick. Where the CTR suffers by comparison is with todays modern tyre technology and suspension (it has quite small wheels/tires in comparison to the RTurbo or R-GT2).

Very very nice! Looks like a bast and Tiff can not only play and really swing it out, he can drive "properly" and way fast too!

tiff does great commentary, likes Porsches and is a good driver ... the only thing I sort of can't stand is his whining pitch changing voice.
those pics are amazing, and congrats on the 1-2 Porsche finish
