Default 991 GT3 Rental at the 'Ring chases Sabine!

This is a great video. Fresh. The first lap is very well driven and Sabine is left behind. Its damp up towards the F1 circuit and he gets a bit crossed over but still overall a very impressive bit of driving from what we assume is an amateur driver (the video was sent to me by a friend of the driver who is an Italian Ferrari owner).....enjoy.....

Seems to over take virtually every car on the track including a dozen 997 GT3s.RS and a few 991 GT3. Driver looks pretty confident (given no helmet, fire suit etc)...

Ok. Looking at his profile he must be at leasst a semi pro driver.

Here is another of his fastest lap at 'Ring 7.35.xx fractionally faster than he did it in a 458 Speciale if you look at his other video...

Good news is it looks like he wears a helmet. Hers an impressive lap in the 458 SP - first time out with a little traffic - its obviously good for a bit more...

Fantastic driving. Thanks Macca.



I think he might be faster if it wasn't for that big nice watch fighting him to the left half the time.

Are you joking being Amateur? I've done Ring a cpl of times and it needs ***** to go fast, and lots and lots of practice, meaning 100s of laps as it's just so long to remember how to take each corner, and what comes next after the next dip!

Very impressive driving indeed, although he rarely changed gear, specially upshift was always auto!

Great car & driver. Obviously has quite a few N-ring laps under his belt, and a semi-pro at the minimum. That PDK is unbelievable. No way anyone could match those shifts with a manual.
