Default Best 928 race footage I've seen

Good evening Rennlisters! Just wanted to share a video I found on YouTube a few weeks ago. It is by far the best footage of a raced 928 I've found. I was shocked to see the video hasn't been seen by many. Looks to be from an event in Slovakia. Turn your speakers up and enjoy!!

Here's the link:

Pretty cool. Is the driver the guy in the red shorts? First in class and maybe second overall?

That is amazing footage thanks for sharing. They look so good when they're eating up the road like that...

looks like red shorts has a Porsche shirt and a first in class trophy. In the last :45 seconds he almost gets air flat out. Pretty impressive

Best road, too....really shows how well the 928 rear suspension hunkers down and helps the car turn in. A 928 in its element.

I've watched this four times already...great find! Thanks for posting.

Greatest sound! I've watched this video over two dozen times. Every 928 owner should see this

Does anybody have any technical details? I'd love to know what he did to suspension, motor, etc

I think this is a link to the results. If so our man came in #23.

I've only heard of about half those cars. Who knew Lancers were so big in Slovakia?

Nevertheless, great video. I turned up the sound at 2:35. Yow!

Looks like a lot of fun. I wish there were events like that over here. Looks like a closed-course on mountain roads for time-trials. Must be a big deal as they have race princesses and American amateur racing never does.

Do any 928 get-togethers have princesses?
