what a hack! sign him up for drift school!
funny, did you see the girl in the van pull off a near 9min lap, IN A VAN! im sure this car (911?) could run quite a bit faster with someone with hands a little quieter and didnt walk all over the wheel, and one that didnt pitch the car on all the tough turns.
fun to watch though! sure wouldnt want to be a passenger with this guy!

kind of reminds me of a more talented version of this famous steering wheel walker,

Not as sexy maybe, but a good 2 minutes+ faster than the Yellowbird classic posted above.. Enjoy.

any truth to this?

I believe the guy in the Ruf video Stefan Rosen the Ruf factory driver. I wouldn't call him a hack by any means. He was out messing around.

In the video you posted that's a Subaru that rolled not a Porsche like the video title says.

Wow,
turn in oversteer, oversteer midturn , oversteer on the exit , not one for the timid. or the uniniated , Obviously it is Ruf test driver "sideways stefan " inthe yellow bird , to comment on the lap is to drive THAT CAR FASTER , i have always felt stefan , has to put on a`show, i guess ,as he scared an associate of mine some 14yrs ago sideways on the power at 120 MPH never lifted , the original driftking i would believe...

I very fast and skilled driver from what i have observed over the yrs.

it was a little tongue and cheeky. the guy is obviously talented and fearless. I just dont know if that is the fastest way around the "Ring".
very entertaining though! thats drifting before drifting was fashionable!

Classic screwup! Did that guy brake at all for the uphill? He had no clue that he was going way too fast!

I'm sure he was just doing for camera purposes.
