CL is odd looking. Not the biggest fan of that car. CLS63 is really nice however.

Yeah, the CL may take some time for me to get used to it. i wasn't exactly thrilled to drive it, but thought it may have something to do with it being a 550 vs the 63. Dunno.

I also got to see all the celebrity celicas. Would have been nice to run a few around the streets course.

Likely has a tubi exhaust.

Not a challenge car as it as normal glass windows and an interior.
You sure it isn't a Challenge? I know it is some upgraded model, but can't remember what. they even had a little plaque on the rear bumper. i'll go by and see it to find out.

Here is the insignia it had...

LOL, shows how much I know. I quit watching F1 when Ayrton died.

I thought the F1 car was a '97 build. i have no clue when he raced it. Would it be worth more now that he is retired? I thought I heard $1m as the actual paid price and expecting to make 50% on it?? I didn't get to drive it so I can't say.

These guys buy them off of collectors and Ebay. Then they export most to japan for a pretty penny.

Having his own crew is nice. There is always something breaking or needing tuning. Must be nice...
