    Delorean Racing Car

    Austria, Salzburgring, Pictures from yesterday:





    Cars are built for driving and not just for watching and stand in a museum. No exceptions.
    A car in a garage is safe, but this is not what a car is built for.

    It was a big surprise for us, because we think that our Delorean has to less power compared to all the other racing cars, but we had luck with the weather! We use brand new yokohama semislick racetires and they are perfekt in the rain. So we had better grip than the others and Martin is a very good and careful driver. He used every opportunity to overtake and so the other drivers had big questionmarks over their heads in their Porsches, BMW´s ans Alfa Romeos. They never had a fight with a Deloren bevore. It was a big fun for everybody!

    That car is AWESOME! I really like the wheels, do you know if they are available here? What are they, and what are the specs, size, offset etc?
    I really like this, I wish I could read some of the text, and captions on the photos...

    The Wheels are Racing Equipment from the German Company HTN http://www.htn-felgen.de/ Sorry, the site is just available in german. We use 7X15 front and 9X15 rear and wheel spacers shims for getting enough space between spokes and caliper.

    Yes, those rims are a good choice. I didn't think anything other than stock would look this good.

    It looks like a lot of fun and I'm glad to see that Martin did well on the track. Might there be anymore pictures of this car?
