Actually the guy in the 951 was pretty good too. He was hanging the tail out onto the grass and held it all together. Those 2.7 RS (clones?) must be very light because they were plenty quick!

impressive considering the near equivalence of power between carreras and 944T and how much lighter a 911 is...good driving

Yeah cool vid but I was really hoping the 944t would win so I could shove it in the face of my 911 buddies.

Gotta commend the entire group for getting through the first turn so cleanly.

Ahhhh... that brought back the memories!

I used to run a car in a UK national series in 1993/1994. Donington Park was a standard fixture on the circuit back then.

Rear-engine meant lots of entertainment on the way down through the Craner curves and into the old hairpin...

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that, thanks!

Trust me. To them, all that will matter is that the almighty 911 beat the lowly 944.
