Asked Jim Richards What He Thought Of The R35 On The Weekend

[Duncan1]

Bumped into Jim RIchards at the Shannons tent at speed on the tweed over the weekend, he was standing next to his 997 GT2 which he drove in Targa West.

He was a great guy to chat to, i asked him what he thought of the r35. He said it was damn impressive and very very fast. I also asked him about his experience with the r32 and he said that it was an amazing vehicle to race.

We chatted for a few minutes, i told him i was a big fan etc!! as you do. Before i let him be, i asked if he was going to get his own back on the gtr in targa tas, he said "he's certainly going to try" the tone suggested there was a small amount of uncertainty in his 2 wheel drive porsche's capability against GTR and he went on to say how good the 4wd is down there [tas]........

What a great guy to chat to. Im still a big fan..
