3 Thing We Learned During The International Sports Car Weekend At COTA

One thing we learned is that no matter how hard you beg, you still cant rent a GT3 Cup from Hertz. Seriously, if you've ever been to a sports car racing event, you know how fun they can be. Our trip to COTA was made possible thanks to a generous invitation from Michelin. When they asked if we wanted to come down to Austin as their guests and watch the ALMS and WEC races, we jumped at the chance.

What's the fastest you've ever driven your Porsche? You don't have to answer, just think about it for a minute. When you reached that high speed, were you scared? Was your heart beating faster?

Listen As 7 Generations Of 911 Engines Sing Happy Birtday To Each Other

7 generations of Porsche play happy birthday

The second I saw this video I knew what Porsche was trying to do. I just didn't think it would be possible. However, as you listen to the distinct sounds made by each generation of 911 it's quite clear they each have a distinct tone. Whoever came up with this concept is to be commended. Similar to the Patrick Dempsey, Patrick Long "Driver Change" video, this too entertains in an unexpected way and will most likely go viral. Click the image above, or here, to watch for yourself.
