Quite by accident, my DVR recorded a car racing event instead of a bicycle racing event. I love to watch bicycle racing, and I rarely watch car races. This one, however, caught my eye. It was a road race in LA, and all the cars were production model cars – one of them was a Cayman S.
The event had three car classes, and my Cayman was in class 2. I don’t know why this is so. I thought that it might have to do with engine capacity, except that class 1 had a whole bunch of Boss 302 Mustangs with engines smaller than the 3.4 liter Cayman.
Actually, the Cayman didn’t fare well in this race – it might even have crashed out. I never saw it cross the finish line.
So Class 1 was predominantly Porsche GT3s, but there were also half a dozen Mustangs, and a few Corvettes & Vipers. It was Mustang, Corvette & Porsche I think for first, second and third.
Another surprise: absolutely no BMWs or WRXs in the bunch! I thought for sure that someone would be racing a BMW M3, since they’re comparable in speed to the Cayman. Nope, the closest thing was an Evo.
Class 3 was awesome largely because the team that won won with a Honda Civic Si. I too have a Honda Civic, so it was nice to see that both my cars were potentially “race-worthy.”
