I dont get it. Sounds like and f1 transmission to me? No one could manually shift that quick. Any details on the car if they claim it is a cayman? Awesome car and driving!

I thought the same thing and I believe the video is "sped up". I came to this conclusion after watching the very starting images, as the two cars roll out of the pits. It just looks like a fast forwarded image. This would/might explain the fast shifts and the unbelievable speed?

Then again......if not sped up, could it be the sequential trans like GT3RSR? Either way, great video. Mid engines where it's at.

Its sequential. Check it out:

This beast has absolutely nothing to do with a normal Cayman besides the obvious like the engine location, suspension points etc....

that is a lap of the full circuit - GP circuit and North Loop - an 8:45 lap, which is damn fast and supported by VLN time sheets, feels really quick. These guys are quick, they are both professional sport car and GT drivers, Pierre has had a spell as an Audi factory driver and the Nordschleife is one of his favorite circuits.

I have no doubt that were you to take the 997 RSR engine and drop it in a Cayman chassis, you could very quickly be able to drive rings around the 997.

Whilst their development is incomplete presently, funded privately, rock solid reliability is a little way away. I am, however, confident that the Cayman will turn into one of the most cost effective rent-a-racers around. It also has that terrific characteristic of being easy to drive quickly, but slightly tricky to drive really quickly.
