"This drive was to raise the awareness of the public to the importance of wearing seat belts," explained Hans Stuck. It also publicised the upcoming Sears Point race, of course. <BR> <BR> Led by Stuck, the five car parade began at Vista Point on the northern side of the bridge and wound through five miles of city streets before arriving at Ghirardelli Square. "As much as I would have liked to drive faster - push my M3 through the gears as I would on the race track - today was not about that," said Stuck. "To go faster would have only shortened the ride and I was enjoying it too much."<BR> <BR> Tom Milner can't wait to see his cars on the track, in a race. "I am fired up because now I see what the possibilities are, after having fought with such a disadvantage to the Porsches for the last two years."<BR> <BR> After a three day test at Sebring last month, Bill Auberlen described the GTR as, "right out of the box (it is) the best GT car I have ever driven."<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
