Default Viper vs GT3 cup at the Nurburgring
In car footage from a viper racing against a GT3 cup car at the Nurburgring.

The real action starts at about 35 seconds in. Enjoy

That was great thanks, and love it when the video is good enough for full screen.

Notce at ~6:45 the GT3 passes traffic up on top of the Carousel a la Vic Elford -- nice!

Gotta love the Flat 6 doing more with less.....

Thanks, it was a lot of fun to watch but thought the viper would come up first at the end of the long stretch.

Yup, I think there's something wrong there. Seems to be geared very low, which is weird considering the grunt of a Viper C.C.

Or he was really watching his mirrors and avoided a collision.

Very cool video. I wish the sound quality was a little better but otherwise that's awesome.

The viper must have ran out of gear on the straight.
