Chasing a McLaren 720S on the Dragon, 4K BTR 2018

November 20, 2018 Banner, Events

The Full Octane Garage took our classic Porsche 911 996 Cabriolet along with 11 exotic cars to drive the back roads of North Carolina with the Blacktop Rally. After a rainy 2nd day… the clouds broke up and the sun warmed the curvy roads of the Tail of the Dragon. a drone, a couple of GoPros and Melissa’s steady hand with the IPhone resulted in this little video memory.
I swear I could have taken that 720S… lol
