Daytona Rally - Performance Car run

[Ash_Jhb]

Hey guys.
Not sure if you guys followed the recent DaytonaSupercar rally in the cape province. It was epic from all the pics and vids seen. I personally knew 2 ppl and they had a time of their life.

Now there’s one for performance cars should the M fans be interested.

My day was goin well until i saw this post😭This is bucket list stuff but i'm just so far off from that M3 Comp.

Just not sure if it's worth the R70k price tag

According to my VPS installer, he said that after the Daytona Rally, he had a lot of VPS replacement work to do on most cars that were JHB based.

I only wanna ask when did a GTI become a performance car

When the current one started costing more than a slightly used Porsche 981...

I am interested to see how many paying people they get vs. just a lot of hype behind it.

The organisers can certainly put on a show

@MR_Y that's interesting: the cars were transported down and were wrapped by greensky (we saw them all the week before they left) - Not sure why they would have needed VPS work unless they were messed up when being wrapped?

when those things started touching Porsche territory. An this is for car with a name that literally translates to "People's Car". Who are these "People"??? Madness.

Ja, TBH the GTI hate has always been strange, a new GTI is a premium vehicle. I'd guess in all but really experienced hands in a real world condition a GTI would be faster than (say) an M2.

The GTI thing got me as well.
So an older 135i isn't an M car, but a GTI is fine...

R70k to participate is a bit steep for most I think. Depending on which GTI you drive, might cost more than your car.

R70K is the start... besides which, the time is another story.

I think about going to the ring, doing a ring taxi or apex taxi in a GT3RS/720S, Tours of factories in Germany (or italy), HPDE at Hockenheim in a single seater - that won't cost much more than the R70K+extras per person it will cost you for this exercise and is more of a bucket list item than going on an extended high risk run and seeing/hearing cars you see every day.

This! Imagine your bucket list is going on a drive in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape with a GTI
