i just watched this -- it's a great vid! he obviously has race-ish brakes (you can hear the squealing) and good tires... but his driving and overall speed it quite nice!


i did 6 laps there last year w/an opel corsa turbo... and i still have this weird, recurring dream of shipping my 951 out there and living in a tent while driving every day!

Very cool but MAN that guy is cutting it close to some of the bikes...

Incomplete said Maybe you won't have to ship your car over there if Burton Smith, who owns several NASCAR tracks is able to fullfil his plans for a replica of the Nordschleif outside of Las Vegas. I wonder how many artifical Christmas trees it will take to make the desert into "The Green Hell".

Definitely a cool video and yep, he cut a few passes with the bikes close.

Kinda funny how he was flying down the track and everyone else, bikes included, weren't.

I'm going to guess he's done a few laps around there before!

Seen this one a few times before. He's a skilled peddler for sure.

Many bikes on nurburgring drive way to slow and are way to insecure to even be there.

I liked how he hit 1.5 G on the banked turn!!

Very impressive video. That guy can drive. I have only done that a few thousand times on Forza/Gran Turismo over the past 10 years with many laps in the simulated 944 Turbo S - I know I would not have the confidence to drive like that until I had done many (lots and lots) of laps. The car acquits itself well I would say.

That's an awsome video.
Cajones, for sure; totally different than a "controlled" track day.

yeah, i was definitely impressed w/how sketchy driving on the ring was. i was constantly on the lookout, front and back, for either slow-*** bikes or *tour buses* hiding around the next corner, and prepped insanity machines dive-bombing me in corners. all the while desperately trying to remember what to do on the next turn at 100mph+.

i've done some wheel-to-wheel and a couple of dozen track days, and i have to say that driving on the 'ring was one of the most insane, scariest and most satisfying things i've ever done. it's not safe, but i would totally go back and do it again in a heartbeat.

This is supposed to be Sabine Schmitz in a 951
