I think he had a small accident or technical on SS8 as it was running in the top 10 times prior to this. They said it was then going to retire but John Stone just drove it around the remaining stages, probably as so many people just wanted to see the car...

I'd like to know were the rest of these cars are? We've only really seen the Tuthill & Dumas cars on numerous events. And what about other marques? It doesn't have to be Porsche, as much as I am a fan of them.

The trouble is there is little competitive reason for entering an R-GT car. That Lotus for example, someone could run a privateer one and we don't really know how it would compare to a Tuthill 911, but would surely be uncompetitive against a conventional rally car on most events.

Presumably the hook with these cars when trying to put a budget together is that despite being sports cars that aren't as quick as purpose built rally cars people will come out to see them and mainly hear them. Surely that's more attractive to potential sponsors? I'd like to see the R-GT cup expand, be properly promoted and try and gain some manufacturer support. Porsche vs Lotus vs Alpine vs Nissan is a mouthwatering prospect!

Edit: while I'm dreaming, add BMW & Audi in there too

Sadly the Lotus R-GT was very quiet car and quite boring car to watch...

Sounds alright to me https://youtu.be/lzuMT3h3dSg Though I agree it is fairly boring to watch, but being a mid-engined sports car it is better to see than most other contemporary rally cars

I have seen it live. It was quiet and in the wind You could barely hear it at all.

Tuthill's R-GT Porsche has been approved for gravel rallies, but unfortunately this year's Wales Rally GB is too close to the Rallye Valais (part of R-GT cup):

“The Tuthill Porsche 997 R-GT was recently approved for use on gravel events, so we hope to add more British rallies to next season’s calendar. [...] With so little room for manoeuvre in the FIA R-GT Cup schedule, it’s a shame to miss this year’s Wales Rally GB, but we’ll see what we can do for 2016.”
