GTP WTAC's first session of 2011 ended with pvr77 and myself tightly locked at 3rd place right after the THE RING Challenge in Germany. I say we break that TIE this week! LET's GET IT ON!

In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to develop a Volkswagen (literally, "people's car" in German,). The epithet Volks- literally, "people's-" was also applied to other Nazi sponsored consumer goods such as the Volksempfänger ("people's radio"). Hitler required a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph).

Initially called the Porsche Type 60 by Ferdinand Porsche, the car was officially named the KdF-Wagen by Hitler when the project was launched. The name refers to Kraft durch Freude ('Strength Through Joy'), the official leisure organization in the Third Reich. It was later known as the Volkswagen Type 1, but became more commonly known as the Beetle after World War II.

Alright, you're on. Now I just need to buy the car!

On a side note, my first car was an old beat-up '70s Beetle but I forget what model it was (the engine size etc.). My first language is Afrikaans which is the South-African version of Dutch and we call the Beetle a ''folksie'' which means ''little Volkswagen''. Nice choice of car red ice, I'm gonna enjoy cruising around the beginner track against you!

Nice! My father bought a Beetle back in the late 80s. I have no idea what model it was back then. Its colored Yellow just like the original Bumblebee. It's engine is noisy and feels very rigid. We had it for 3 months until he lost it to a bet at the Casinos.

Trivia: Officially my father owned a total of 29 different cars since the 60s until now. Though we didn't had 2 cars simultaneously. He just had the habit of changing cars very often. Currently he owns a Toyota Land Cruiser 90s (Automatic) which he uses to drive on Dirt Mountainous roads back in our province. Drives it every week 12 hours from city to province. He's rather old now. My Dad's the best driver in the world! Mighty proud of him!
 
Oh just to let you know, that first time of mine was after about 50 or so laps with some tuning so i think it's pretty close to my best.

Hi red ice.

Sorry for uploading so late but as you know I am on holiday and today I went spear fishing with my brother here near Cape-Town and I completely lost track of time (actually I didn`t even know what day it was:dunce:). My time is a little faster than yours but I got a really lucky last corner. I turned in quite sharply and then just left the steering and continued to accelerate and the car seemed to follow the racing line by itself!

Anyway, as per the rules this shouldn`t count burt here it is anyway...

Volkswagen Beetle 1100 `49 - 34`231.

thanks for the duel, I had a lot of fun. The car was small and the track too but it was a good challenge none the less.

I fear that my time in this weeks WTAC won`t be as competitive as usual as i`m only going home on Sunday and I haven`t even bought the Zonda yet..
