Porsche 935, Drugs and Le Mans - The Story of The Whittington Brothers
In the high-octane world of motorsport, few stories are as captivating and controversial as that of the Whittington brothers. Known for their success on the racetrack, particularly with the iconic Porsche 935, they also had a tumultuous past intertwined with the dark underbelly of drug trafficking. The brothers, Don and Bill Whittington, emerged from the world of illegal drug trade to become notable figures in endurance racing, including the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their journey is not just a tale of racing glory but also a dramatic narrative of risk, ambition, and redemption, showcasing how the thrill of speed often rides alongside the dangers of a life lived outside the law.

Mercedes dominated the FIA GT1 class in the 1990s, but that was followed by som...

    Group B was banned bc it was too dangerous. But cars now are even faster and people still stand in the roads, now they use flares to blind the drivers. Far more dangerous now. Oh the irony. Also I own 2x 92 Toyota Celica GT-Four CSE. One red and one black. My father is a rally guy and worked for Toyota for a 25+ years in their racing department. He loves those cars more than anything when it comes to possessions, so I will always keep them in storage in a bubble. But I do take them out every year or so for a little ride.

    I usually drive a suburban. I rented a 2024 Camray . The difference was like night and day. Stops on a dime. It was the fastest car I ever drove. It had three ways to shift gears. Keep your elbows locked on your legs, hands on the wheel, and use paddles under the wheel. It fish tails on wet pavement. Don't try to figure out the computer/radio on the dashboard. When it goes past 110mph, it shimmy shakes. ...

      Of course it's night and day... you're talking an SUV that weighs a thousand pounds or more. The center of gravity is lower in the Camry. Also, if you're "fishtailing", you probably need better rubber. Keep in mind, it's a rental car.. so they're not going to buy top of the line tires.
