A Closer Look into the Carrera GT Rally
The rally mainly focussed on the driving roads in Napa and included multi-day drives venturing through technical switchbacks and open sweepers that put the CGT through its paces in various driving scenarios. The hills got a new burst of energy and became alive with the sound of music. It was fascinating to witness the art of 90 cylinders and 5,427 horsepower thundering through the mountain passes.
There were a lot of pit stops ranging from the Marshall Store Oyster Shack to the reputed culinary expert, French Laundry. The representatives from Porsche Classic were the surprise guests and joined the traveling group for the Thomas Keller-helmed dinner. The passers-by could not stop drooling over the impressive Carrera GTs at the parking lots of each stop.
