Lost concentration going into Big Bent (T1) because I was taking on the radio with my Crew Chief. Not very graceful, but I did manage to stay on the track. :)

Here's a DIY for applying a vinyl windshield banner to a car. This happens to be the rear hatch of a 924, but the idea is the same for a windshield.
First, make sure the glass is clean, then, with masking tape and the release liner still on, put the graphic where it should be. Use the masking tape like a hinge, use a little lubricant, and away you go!
