RUF AutoCentre sponsored GT2 R 550 which just finished the Gumball 3000....
Last pic of the front bumper is the result of a rabbit @ 140 mph... ouch!

I'm sure somewhere along the Gumball 3000 route, there's a rabbit saying to other rabbits, "yeah but you should see the other guy".

the car did have a slight off-road excursion, which is what caused the side skirt, muffler, and rear bumper damage. but the car is pretty much a tank and shrugged it off.
and yes, all that we really did to the car was a 550 kit. which the driver said was more than enough.

the side skirt, rear fender & bumper, and front passanger bumper was when he slide off the road in thailand going 100 around a turn in the rain! he was in first, and then ended up in 10th after being pulled out of the mud by locals!
the driver of the ruf car got the best driver award at the playboy mansion. i attempted to follow him thru death valley, but with the elevation changes, and 1k drop offs with no rail...i couldnt keep up with him at 110+...he used to race challage ferrari!
here is a pic of us just before death valley at the check point for lunch.
