Another great video. I couldn't stop laughing near the end when one of the drivers crashed his car and dropped to his knees in shame. It looks like he might have been crying


Another spectacular crash..:

All those magnesium phone dials and cup mirrors! Great videos but they sure did toss the cars around!

Don't let anybody tell you Porsche didn't pay any attention to racing development for the 944T cars.....they were quite aware of the popularity of these events and prepared accordingly.

It's interesting to see just how well they handled with their 'sloppy' suspension. Very forgiving. That 2nd clip shows a crazy street track setting for the amount of cars. That first crash is alarming just how quickly it explodes into flame. There's a spectator right there too....

Suspension has never felt "sloppy" to me!

I'd like to know what happened to the spectators. Obviously the angle makes distance hard to judge, but they sure looked like they were in the blast zone! It was an alarming thing to watch...to say the least.
