The 2021 race is from Oct 15-21. Of course TAG Heuer is a sponsor. Anyone else following the race?

It's always so interesting to see Mustangs and 911s at this one because the original ran only in the first half of the 1950s. But I guess it's just another round of the vintage car rally circuit these days, so all good I guess

Modern cars too and I believe more road going than rally.

I just enjoy seeing the colorful liveries and of course the modern day version of the race our Carrera was named after. :)

Well, road rallies are a thing - the original Panamericana was one - but yes, these new editions of the old road races are more for the fun of exercising the wonderful old cars that originally ran them rather than out and out competition. The modern Mille Miglia, Targa Florio etc are all of this nature and so is La Carrera I imagine.

@Mspeedster I can picture you in that 911 with Gulf livery.
Maybe one day I'll have the guts to get a custom Gulf wrap done on my own 911. Although I'd never hear the end of it from my wife (or my neighbors) if I did. :rolleyes:

It's beautiful to see one actually being dressed for racing, looks it actually hits the dirt!
