Porsche sets new Towing record around the Nurburing

Should be coming to an episode of Top Gear soon.

"The new record – which stands because no one has towed a tractor around the Nurburgring – now stands at a respectable 12 minutes and six seconds."

This sure seems like a complete waste of time... oh, Porsche can TOW too (yes, 1.5 tons, so 3000 lbs?)

Next we should have Mclaren tow a boat around the Nurburgring.

It's interesting, but in my mind really has nothing to do with real world use.

I never knew Porsche once built tractors. And, I never thought of a Porsche as a tow vehicle.
As usual, I learned something on the forum. Thanks.
