You’re luckier than me; I’ve only driven an old SC a couple of times (with the owner shouting to slow down) but since ’08 or ’09 I’ve been able to attend some of the Spanish champ rounds on the beautiful Galiza region and believe me, modern 911’s cars are great to watch on a rally and their top drivers are much more than “drag racers”.

To be frank, the first time I was a bit shocked to see those bulky machines running on such narrow roads (there was also a 360 GT…) and the spectator’s reaction seemed a bit hysterical, but year after year one get to know what drivers really can take all from those magnificent cars and how entertaining they can be on a rally stage.

I won’t exaggerate like rallyes.net guys titled about last Spanish event “The Porsche’s have comeback; the spectacle has comeback”, because in every category there are great drivers delivering amazing performances (like in R2), but there’s no doubt Gt’s are a plus in tarmac rallys and their top drivers should be praised as all the others.

Videos don’t make justice, but take a look at Ares 911 (0:04 and 5:07) on this nice video from Bunnings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JqvrqEW12Q
