That is indeed TPC.

The short answer is no on the second question. I do not think 'I' will grow much. My challenge will be the fast E, G, and slow H cars. The commenter below, for example, will absolutely smoke me in his H car.

But really, I just want some podium stickers. I learned it from goodhands.

I was shopping for GTB-1, and people wanted stupid money for worn PDK cars and even stupider money for fresh ones. Instead I decided to spend stupid money on a fresh car built by people I know and trust and are local.

So, the plan right now is to build to GTB-1 over the winter. That step is mostly aero, brakes, uprights, and flash. But I'm going to do my rookie race in I and learn to drive the car and get some racing seat time sans the big numbers and sheer madness of the GTB-1 field.
