“What I want to do is endow a Glickenhaus road cup,” he says on TopGear.com. “On the day of the Nürburgring 24 Hours, after the top 30 shootout for the race, the road cars are scrutinised, and then we time them on the Nordschleife. And then there’s no bulls***.”

Well there you. An actual WrestleMania for road cars, from hot hatchbacks and up. I would love to hear more from him about this and even suggest a few ideas and ways to run it, and even expand it to include other tracks all over the world for benchmarking.
I am giddy. Looks like all those bookings I did might just come true.

Jim is the man. Too bad Ferrari and Porsche don’t have the balls to take him up on this challenge.

Well, NISMO TV streams a whole lot of events they’re in on YouTube (not all, obviously), and they streamed the N24. This trophy would be something that can attract a big audience.

Nah, I’m not gonna believe Porsche is as chickenshit as Ferrari. And this is the fucking Nurburgring. Every major German marque has a stake at the track, and if this trophy becomes real, bet’cha butt they’ll be ready.

They aren’t going to come clean. They will bring an army of techs and a specially prepared car.

This is a bad idea without at least half cages, fire bottles, and harnesses, which every manufacturer’s record “road cars” that I’ve watched video of have as a minimum.
