Hello members of the Ford Forum board!
We are posting this (and hopefully it is ok to do so here, and not considered spam) to let you know about our upcoming race. www.theunlimitedclass.com In brief: In November of 2006, La Carrera Panamericana will be opened for the first time to modern day production cars! 100% legal. 100% race. La Carrera Panamericana is the last great road race in existence. It is fully sanctioned by the Mexican Government, Police, and Tourism board. (Unlike the Gumball, Players Run etc, this one is legal.) The Unlimited Class at La Carrera Panamericana will take place from November 9th to 16th of 2006, starting in Oaxaca, Oaxaca and finishing in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. For the inaugural race, the modern cars will be a separate class immediately proceeding the traditional Historic race. The approximate length will be 3,050 km. La Carrera Panamericana will be divided into seven stages (days) over paved roads. The race consists of timed travel sections and unlimited velocity sections. Detailed information can be found in the "Application" section of our website. The Unlimited Class will consist of any production car manufactured after 1990. It will operate under the same rules and authority of La Carrera Panamericana Historic racing. There will be case by case exceptions made for some "super cars" such as the Ferrari Enzo, Bugatti Veyron, and Mercedes Clk-Gtr in regard to roll cages, hood locks, and tow hooks. In 2006, the Unlimited Class will be limited to twenty entrants. Prize monies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place each day in addition to an overall winner's purse. Further information is in the "Application" section of our site. We are now accepting applications. We hope to see some of your cars at the races and also hope to see some of you on our chat boards! The Unlimited Class Organization. |

I'm sure there's people on the forums who would still do this.
If I had the money (and a quicker car) I'd love to give this a bash. Cannonball run anybody ?

I went to your site and linked onto www.gobirdman.com
What a crazy Porche ... 800hp & 252mph. Also checked out his gallery with all his very wealthy friends. Thats the first time I've seen a Bentley turbo doing burnouts! |

Maybe we should talk to Wheels or Motor about entering an F6 Typhoon or...the DRIF6
 in it?? Now THAT would make for good reading

Here is a link to a video documentary that was done on last year's historic race (190mph+ hostorics that is!). Our event will be very similar, but with new cars. The documentary is 50 minutes long, and is in French. The guys in the car that flips are fine... broken arms is all.
