In an seemingly unlikely shootout, professional racing driver David Donohue, son of the legendary Mark Donohue (a Brown engineering graduate and author of required reading, “The Unfair Advantage”), pits a 1987 944 Turbo up against a 2017 Macan GTS at Virginia International Raceway (VIR).

The day did not look stellar in forecast, weather-wise. But It turned out to be a phenomenal day to take in some beautiful cars, many of them from NER, down in Newport at the Rosecliff mansion – an event sponsored by the Audrain Automobile Museum. If you haven’t been to visit, you owe yourself a nice trip to Newport to enjoy the local and the fact that it has become a great place to be a car-lover.
