Tuthill Porsche pulls the crowds at the Circuit

[Cess]

On the RMS Blog: There may have been glamour models and Hollywood A-listers among the competitors on this year’s Circuit of Ireland Rally, but there was only one real crowd puller – the Tuthill Porsche 911 R-GT. (Read the Full Article Here)

Actually could not have given less of a toss about the Breen/Barrable battle out the front.

I went purely to see Robert and Allan in the Porsche.

Met them at the lights in Banbridge, tops guys - had a rev-off! Think they won...

Seen this today at Porsche showroom across from us today. The noise!!!

Brilliant to see them out there in this. Great change from all the other kit and mean looking too.
Only disappointment was that it wasn't LOUD ENOUGH....
It didn't appear to be running the open pipes that it was last year.

 

[Cess]

Would love to have been able to do a side by side, old and new, using the pictures you posted in the 911 SC RS thread @FM155

 

[FM155]

Yeah never thought about that, would've been cool.
A pic with the Corkill 911 SC RS would be good in Killarney if they are both out...

Saw them on the A1 too.



So do Woodsides own it then? Whats the history behind it?

 

[swansty]

Details are in the article but basically Tuthill own and built it, Woodside hired it for the event.

Great Article as usual @Cess

Was going well on Saturday but they seemed to be taking it a wee bit handy to get used to it on friday.

Its presence on the stages was amazing, but ultimately, I think its too big a car to be competitive on the wee roads we have here. Great to see though.

Ah sure, you'd win your class everytime though! Thanks for the feedback @davecoupe and loving the pcitures, espeically the jump.

Same Pete, I couldn't wait for the french shopping leading cars to finish ripping around before i could see & hear the Porsche!

Id also say it wasn't loud enough, although on the Lisburn stage it wasn't really getting its legs stretched.

Car of the Rally for me

Only made it to the Special Stage in Lisburn but even there it was simply fantastic to watch and listen too!
