In this episode, we begin the process of bringing the ex-Grand-Am Porsche 996 GT3 Cup race car back to life. The goal is simple: get the car ready to run on track again. The reality is a little more complicated.

With no real plan going in, the process becomes something else entirely… following leads, asking questions, and learning from the people who know these cars best. One introduction leads to another, and slowly the path forward starts to take shape.

Along the way, we inspect the car, map out what it needs, and begin the work to return this early-2000s Cup car to the track.

Sometimes the only way to start is with no plan, just curiosity.

So much gratitude for all the help on this project. Simply could not have done it alone.
