Great video. Mortal driving. Reminded me of myself at track days - hitting the wipers and accidently lifting the throttle in a corner. One of the better produced vids Ive seen. Thanks for sharing!~

Wow, great video, thanks for posting. Did he seem to drive faster when there was someone in his sights or was it my imagination??

Our friend Leo in the Blue RS needs to attend a few DE's. He missed lots of apex's and routinely got on the gas waaaaay too early going through turns, lifted on a few too. Bitchin ride though, was relieved to hear his winshield squeak too.

Agreed, Leo needs to attend few DE's. I guess he also backed up after he almost lost it 1/3 into it.

Too bad he didn't keep up with the other 993 and M3, it seemed like a good battle. That BMW 325 at the start was wild too.

It was funny to see that Toyota Land Cruiser doing laps in the Ring.

What a treat, being able to drive on that track! If I ever get the chance, I would memorize it first on PS2.

993 RS, nice car. Does anyone on this board have one? We've got a few 964 RS's on the 964 board.

Great vid. Leo could use a little work on his heel-toe downshifting.

Cool video. I liked watching the 993 & the (I think) 5 series wrestle about 6 minutes in. That 3 series in the beginning is awesome too! Is it just me or does our driver get a little crazy when other drivers are around (especially when they pass him)? Anyway, fun video. Makes me realize I have A LOT to learn about driving.

PS - I'm sure everyone's seen it by now, but Hans Stuck driving a M3 at the 'ring is pretty cool too:

Not a great driver, but for some reason that made it more fun to watch - I bet he was having a blast as he drove that RS at 5/10ths

He did not know the track and was very tentative going into turns. Was much faster when following someone who knew the turns.
