Just finished watching the last episode....apparently when I watched it yesterday my Internet service was the problem with picture quality. Was hd this morning.

Great with a good cup of joe on a rainy winter morning...

Can you imagine the logistics of preparing 17 vintage 911's and then shipping them with spares and full crews to east Africa for this raly? Amazing that 15 of them finished and the two that didn't were out because of crashes and not mechanical failures. The final scene where it showed them all bashed post rally is a testament to how tough our cars are.

Aren't they having some dispute with FIA on get the GT3 rally car approved? Sounds like politics.

It was some homologation issue. They worked it out and will be at Monte Carlo next month.
