Vibration comes from holding the wheel at 300 kph with one hand and holding the camera to take the picture with the other hand......probably had to put the camera thru the steering wheel too. Must have been a long straightaway!

Unfortunately the "true" speed of the car was probably more like 280km/h based on the speedo error Porshe have kindly built in to these cars for us

Cheers,
