GTP WTAC Week 29 : easyasashii's Ruf Riders
*** CTR stands for 'Group C Turbo Ruf' and is most commonly known as 'Yellowbird'... a name bestowed upon it by 'Road & Track' magazine staffers for fairly obvious reasons. It was based on a Porsche 911, but was extensively tuned and tweaked to give vastly superior performance. In fact, at the time of it's release in 1987, it was the world's fastest sports car (as far as top speed was concerned). Not surprisingly, Yellowbird held the Nurburgring lap record for many years. Anybody perusing Youtube very well might have come across one of the best on-board camera videos ever recorded. It features Ruf testdriver Stefan Roser driving balls out in what appear to be 80's style penny loafer shoes (ha!). If you haven't viewed this incredible video, then prepare to be awed: CLICK HERE. In 1995, Ruf released the successor to the CTR... the aptly named 'CTR2'. This model was based on the new Porsche 993-chassis 911 and featured a kevlar body, AWD, a fully integrated roll cage, and a highly tuned 3.6 liter twinturbo flat six Porsche engine. Despite being better in every way from it's predecessor, 'Yellowbird', it wasn't the fastest production sports car. That title was held by the famous McLaren F1, which cost four-times as much as the RUF CTR2. An odd tidbit of information is that Ruf entered two CTR2's in the 1997 Pike's Peak hill climb, netting a 2nd and a 4th place finish. Come join us in celebrating Alois Ruf Jr's babies on the track and take note: for this challenge, easyasashii has requested that we run on S3 tires and with no TCS (as they didn't have it) - so make sure you give these beasts the right running shoes (and don't use Traction Control)! ***
