Hi Z06,
In the Turbo Division, Cargraphic ran their 997 Turbo GT RSC 3.6 and came in a very close 2nd place (about 5/10s of a second) to TechArt's 997 GT2. Great battles from both German Tuners - hats off to them both.

Awesome car, but has Timo ever heard of heel-and-toe downshifting?

Hi Mvez,
He must be doing something right because that's one fast lap!

Timo is driving in a whole other universe. He's on the edge of chaos the whole time.

Congrats to the boys at Cargraphic - for the win.
So who actually ran the team was it EDO there normal partners?
I think we need a Global Tuner Challenge in the USA, invite all the big guns out and see where everyone stacks up!!!
I would be happy to bring out some cars for an event like this...

No arguing that, it was a fast lap, and wicked car control. Kudos to him and Caragraphic. It's just painful to hear the clutch dumped at each downshift.

my thoughts too, you can actually see the car get very upset on turn-in....his car control easily overcomes it, but I think he could've turned considerably faster laps by keeping the car more settled at turn-in.
Either way, the car is the real star IMO! Nice setup Caragraphic...and the Dunlop livery looks great.

To answer your question, from day one the race team has been run by RDM-CARGRAPHIC RACING With Kurt Ecke - as it was this past weekend.
Up until 3 years ago, EDO had been in the Pits next to Cargraphic because of their partnership and working relationship.
Good idea for the Global Tuner Challenge for USA - let's hook it up, could be an incredible event...
Thanks,
-Bryan
