Yea that is pretty good! Especially when he hit's the two lane area that has grass in between the lanes.

I was going to say, it's amazing that the trans. can handle that kind of abuse. He isn't very smooth, if you ask me.

This must be a cup car.

I've driven on many road courses but rally driving takes the risk of crashing to a level I can barely imagine!
And that gearbox is the typical "racing" sequential manual (clutch only used to engage first gear?) and is the basis of most people's opinion that the PDK stick's manual shift action is backwards.

How about changing the thread title to "996 road rally with sequential box"
It's certainly "wow" sport, and but nothing special or particularly relevant to the 991.

I bet he misses a 6 speed manual.

That is intense, have to be a little nutty to do that.

That is a six speed manual- a sequential one that requires clutching only on downshifts. Same as Cup cars.

Rally drivers nutty? Consider the passenger!

Its obviously not a PDK box because the shift pattern isn't back to front
