Drifting A Rothmans Porsche At The Snowy Nürburgring Is A Frosty Dream
Drifting A Rothmans Porsche At The Snowy Nürburgring Is A Frosty Dream-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:35

Here’s Patrick Simon driving the Rothmans Porsche 911 SCRS at the snowy Grand-Prix circuit of the Nürburgring. The lucky bastard.

While you can build any race car you want, or even buy these days, nothing will be more fun than driving a rear-wheel drive car with a locking differential in snow. Up until a certain hight, that is.

The most impressive thing about the 2016 Ford Focus RS isn’t the Drift Mode or the fact that it’s…

Things get even more interesting when you have a screaming flat-six at the back putting most of the weight behind the rear axle, wrapped in a lightweight body and the most iconic Porsche livery of all time. The Rothmans blue-white-red goes perfectly with the frozen Nürburgring, wouldn’t you agree?

One more thing on my bucket list. It’s getting too long.
