Hans-Joachim Stuck is without a doubt my favorite driver of all time. IMO he was probably the best out there for a long time, at least in the "production car" world. It's too bad real "sports cars" aren't popular in the US anymore. I guess all the rednecks got tired of being too drunk to walk to a different part of the track to see a different part of the race. Now they just show up to a party and people start racing in circles.
I'm always down with homologation specials. PLZ PLZ PLZ subaru can we have a "real" STI twin, maybe a turbo FA20, Hewland 6 speed with Ohlins dampers and some real brakes.
Or, sell bodies in white stateside...
