DRIVE: Chris Harris Does Great Things in an Old Porsche

by Zack K

 

This will sound like I’m kissing a part-time employer’s  ass, but the DRIVE Network has really surprised me with the volume of seriously interesting – yet diverse- content. All the shows touch on parts of the automotive world I find seriously interesting that were previously under-represented on video or television. The videos hit all the enthusiast’s buttons: racing coverage, driver interviews, techniques, new cars, old cars, weirdness, comedy, new cars and crazy stuff. Chris Harris has been doing a good job of showing us the freshy fresh sports cars. Every week he does something we’d kill for, and brings us along to watch.

 

This week was particularly good; he drove th Janssen Rally Team’s old Porsche 911 rally car around a test track. The track is tight, the car is tail-happy and high-strung, and the result is Chris “doing what I’d do if I won the lottery.” Sliding a 2,000lb, 350HP, wag-happy Porsche around. It would be worth every penny. Jump to watch.

 

To prove I wasn’t kissing EP ass: J.F., you *** * *i** *o*** ***. How ya like me now!?
