Yes, i need this video as well...haven't been able to get it from here or Rennteam.com at all! Hans-Joachim Stuck is son to Hans Stuck who also dominated racing in his years. Apparently Stuck's sons are dominating the circuits now as well in the VW Lupo or Polo series races.
I haven't seen the vid yet but if the GTR blows the GT3's away it's probably the V8 under the hood. They are just different classes. First year i saw this car race was in '03 at the 24hr of the 'Ring it was simply amazing the Abt Audi TT's dominated that year. Factory teams sure do help. Now if Olaf Manthey can get past #3 this year!

Great Video! Hans is really amazing.
BTW, sweanders is right. Sabine has the most laps around the 'ring. She's one of the drivers of BMW's "ring taxi," an e39 M5 that can be hired for 'spirited' trips around the loop.

I know I was all tense after watching it, and Stuck's shifting was nothing short of explosive and precise! Awesome video, one of the best 'Ring' videos I have seen. Rufazination is right up there of course with the RUF C2TR Yellow Bird roasting the tires around ever sweep and corner.

The takeaways from watching Herr Stuck...
1) See how little and smoothly he moves the steering wheel, hands always in the same place, never in a hurry, no jerky and unnecessary movements
2) Shifting is AMAZING! Quick but same movements of the arm each time...never out of rythm...sequential gear shifts (no skipping gears)...total mastery of heel-toe.
Bet if there was a camera at his feet we'd be watching one of the most rythmic foot dances ever!
Thanks for the link, what a treat.
