Go to 2.30-2.40s of the Ferrari FXX video and see if your eyes can actually track how fast his hands move that wheel!

Following Sabine - YouTube

This was the Manthey Customer event earlier this month. Hands down the best DE on the planet, a bucket list for any P car enthusiast where many of us RL'ers have convened in the past. Only 80 customers are permitted and most if not all have prior training on the Nord with a good degree of situational awareness and/or skill keeping collisions to a minimum. This is the perfect event to drive 9/10ths +.

So far as the driver is concerned he has all the prerequisites needed to drive the car "flat out" while not worrying about the 75.000 Euro deductible or the open ended liability he assumed in that rental: excellent car control, great knowledge of the Nordschleife, young, aggressive, most likely HNW.

Thanks for finding and posting, great video!

HNW is the opposite of "If you have to ask......"

Impressive car control! Too much so for my NW. I would be living under a bridge some place if any thing went wrong. Hopefully I would be able to salvage a nice Enzo seat to sit around the fire with.

The GT3 drive is intense. Car seems to have quite a bit of under steer which I guess explains the difference in his time from the 'official 991 GT3' time. I didn't see much fat in his lap at all for his set up, seemed right on the limit most of the time.
Maybe a stupid question, but is the Speciale supposed to be 5-10 secs quicker at the Ring than the GT3? I would have thought not.

Also those top ring times are typically done with nobody else on track - completely open for the test.

P-Cup times significantly quicker than Challenge1 times at any circuit in Asia. Many friends described driving a 458C as 'floating' the car due to lack of DF. Then they rectified it with C2, by finally admitting the diffuser can't compete with a huge wing out the back. However they pitch the Speciale as a track car with active-diffuser as the track-solution- yet still without a wing. Asthetic-over-function policy for the road cars, even if it sacrifices lap times?

Question driven not from P-car over F-car debate, but more from wanting to know if Speciale is really such a good track car as am debating Gt3-RS vs Speciale as next purchase.
Many thanks.
