Ouch at the end of the 930 vid! Takes some serious cajones to rally an old-school turbo. Amazing how quickly it goes wrong.

The 930 driver was in the zone, and on/over the limit several times. The car was skating in places. What an amazing sound though. Better sounding than the GT3 IMO.

Thanks for sharing those

It almost look like they took a 996 cup car and went rallying with it. The suspension doesn't look to adequate for the application.

Same thing I was thinking, a little rebound damping would go a long way to cure that bounce

That GT3 took a beating on that road!

Anyone who has had a modified 930 knows just how scary those cars can be. When that turbo kicks in, HANG ON!!

^YUP it does make itself known. The good thing in film-1 the owners can say 996x-? never driven in the rain.....No disrespect to the concours d'elegance group but I love it when cars are driven and driven hard.
