Here are 2 clips from the first 10 minutes or so of the Black enduro. Mike Faems asked Jack Balwin qualify and drive his "E" stock 944S2 for the first half of the race. Jack and I had a pretty good start to the race so I thought I would post it. I didn't have second gear and the ABS wasn't working.

I split it into 2 clips.

Awesome video Karl...I just made it through the first one but man...you guys had a blast!

wish I could've made it.

 

Very enjoyable Karl thanks for the post
Nice battle

 

Nice pass in Bishop's!

 

So that's what Mike's car looks like when it's going fast. Interesting perspective. Thanks for posting!

 

Karl, nice drive chasing Jack. I was right behind Jack when he made a hole at turn 1 next to Hupfer where there wasn't an opening at the start. Intense drive for an enduro! Awesome! Thanks for posting.

 

That was cool when the dark 993 passed Baldwin then Baldwin moved over to the right to draft him for a few seconds! He's so smooth.

That was a hairy pass at the end, you really got wide and squirrely, he must have known and backed off. Thanks for posting.

 

Great video and driving Karl - looks like a blast!!! Congrats on your sprint race also!

 

Great footage, and a furious dice, for an enduro! I think I came out of pit behind you guys, we did an early driver change, and I watched you guys for over a lap, until my engine quit. When I get my video, I'll post if it's good. You guys were still like white on rice after 20+ min.

 

Nice vids Karl. Those cars are so evenly matched it's a real game of chess to make the passes. The only major difference I could see is that at the end of one corner in particular (not sure which one?), you braked noticeably earlier but perhaps maintained better corner speed, but also kept in 3rd gear after the corner which seemed to bog you down a little and leave you a few car lengths behind. Any reason for this?
Nice driving though. What sort of wheels/tires are you running?

 

Karl, nice pass coming out of Bishop's Bend, now please go back to I class!!!

Going into the hairpin I always backed off a bit. That corner in particular it was very easy to lock the brakes as the cars ABS was not working(I think it is a bad speed sensor). And since the car did not have 2nd gear at all, I was forced to use 3rd and I always lost a bit of ground there. This is why I never attempted to pass going into the hairpin as the braking would have been tricky and Jack would have been able to easily pass me back on the next straight anyway.

I am on 8.5"x18" and 10"x18" CCW forged one piece wheels running 245/35 and 285/30 Hoosiers R6's.

Outstanding. Awesome racing. Confirms my desire to build my S2 properly.

Are those S2's or Turbos?

 

S2's I am sure of it (exhaust note and badge on the black one).
