At this time of year, wouldn't you first need to attend one of Porsche's PSDS "Camp 4" driving schools and then fit some spiked tires?

Great find Rassel. If I watch it a couple hundred times I might have a clue how to stumble around the Ring without offing myself.

Crazy place to race, the RSR took a LONG time to get around those cups, no place to pass... then he was gone! I love how the RSRs handle, so different from a cup, they seem to float. I would love to do that race with 200 cups but I don't have time to learn the track so I would embarrass myself.

It's going to be a crazy race for sure.

Since passing on the Nordschleife is not that easy and with so equal cars and so few laps, I guess the GP-Circuit will be the total opposite with full mayhem from start. I can see Porsche spare parts already building up a stock of radiators and bumpers..

I wish I could burn it into my memory banks for the day I actually get to drive it. I think one would need quite a few laps to feel familiar, maybe a month in Germany would be the cure?

His delivery is so dry and even "turn in at 3rd concrete unit, exit at the second last, not too early or you finish at the barriers" too funny!

But the place clearly demands a lot of respect
