At a time when I should be thinking about finding good homes for some of my cars I suffered some slight dementia and made an offer on another race car. To my delight the owner accepted it! Here's what I bought:

Its a Group 2 2002 that was part of the GS Tuning Team that ran the DRM (predesseor to the DTM) in 1975-76:

The car is pretty amazing with lots of interesting modifications including an M12 up under the hood:

The car is in Europe so I will be arranging shipping this coming week.

Should look pretty good parked next to Luigi!

really cool and exciting. the exhaust manifolds look like the ones on the factory CSL race cars
 
Plus you have a DRPower lawn mower out front for those occasional offs...just kidding. Looks well sorted, and a ton of fun! Well played.
 
Jealously....... An amazing addition to the stable. You are living your life large.
 
M12 oh my!!!

Congrats on the addition. Shame that it is just going to sit in some gallery and never see any track time. Haha J/K!!! :D
 
Here's a few more interesting details on the car.

On one side of the diff is the diff oil pump drive. The cooler is out in the small box extension in front of the rear wheel well.

On the other side of the diff is the generator drive.
