From 6speedonline. Anybody know more?
"...he said that on Sept 26 (yesterday!), there was a magazine sponsored test on the 'Ring for several supercars:
1) Carrera GT
2) Maserati MC12
3) MB CLK DTM
4) Ferrari F430
5) Bentley Continental GT
6) BMW M6 (delimited)
The drivers involved in the test are just as exciting as the cars:
1) Walter Rohrl
2) Hans Stuck (sp?)
3) Heinz-Harald Frentzen (ex F1 driver)
4) Klaus Ludwig (multiple DTM champion)
Format will have each driver getting 3 laps in each of the cars.
Rohrl mentioned that Olaf Manthey told him that there was a customer Macca F1 at Manthey's shop, in for some mods. And Walter was hoping that the owner would allow the Macca to be included in the super test.
I have no idea how the test went, or even if it pushed thru (any German 6Speeders know?). I did my first ever laps of the 'Ring a few days prior, on Sept 21-22, and went back on the 25th to watch the public 'Ring day. Sadly, I had to fly back home to Asia on the evening of the same day, so i missed the bloody test by a day! (oh, and I made sure to visit Manthey Racing, and sure enough, there was a gorgeous blue Macca F1 parked right inside the office lobby!)
I can't remember which magazine was sponsoring the test. Though i'm pretty sure it was neither Sport Auto nor Auto Bild."
