Great photos . . thanks. Hope everyone runs fast and safe. By the way, that Smart Car should probably be classed as an I/GT rather than as an I/PRO. Only has two seats . . .
The GT rule states -
"This class is limited to 2-seat production sports cars like the Corvette, Honda S-2000 or Fiero as well as limited production cars like the Factory Five Cobra manufactured by a recognized automobile manufacturer intended for comfortable high-speed driving."
The Smart Car was never intended to be anything more than an economy car, and has never been marketed as a sports car, whereas the above mentioned vehicles were "intended" to be "for comfortable high-speed driving."
As to the success of the manufacturer in achieving
that goal, I'll take the Midget over the Fiero any day.
82 mph in a Smart Car - and he was having as much fun as anybody out there this weekend!
I guess if there's a questions as to whether it's a Sports Car, the final arbiter would likely be your insurance agent, but topping out at 82 mph is actually pretty sporty for a rolling phone booth.
A GLORIOUS WEEKEND!
