Default GT Cars Vs. F1's At Spa....

Just in case we ever get fat heads about how fast we are on a track.....

This video has an overlay (2 videos) - you can see GT cars (including some Porsches) going through Eau Rouge at Spa in Belgium with modern F1 cars at the same time. It's almost frightening how much faster the F1 cars are.....

Luckily I'll probably never drive at Spa, lest some make a video of me vs GT cars.

Never have I seen an enzo of this proportion. Not only has this been posted here before, but it is currently in the Racing section, AND it is also currently front page in OT.

WTF is going on here?

Next thing you know, every section will be rejoicing in the return of michael schumacher.

It's still a great post no matter how many times it comes up. Ignore the banter JR. BTW I spectated at the wall exactly where that camera is located. Only in Europe do they let you walk through the pit lane to hang out inches from a hot track (with no fencing just 5 years ago).

In the overlay the speed differential looks even more impressive than the side by side..........

I am shocked and appalled to hear such a thing from a 911 owner. You guys are always supportive of us 944 guys. You should be ashamed. You give 911 owners a bad name.


Oh, and that was such an epic burn, I'm going to add it to my sig. THANKS!

had one loved the car, but never acted like an"a........................ hole" if you don't like trash talk then stop throwing it over the fence. BTW I would expect most 944 owner's to disown you.

As I always say nothing compares to the roads or tracks of Europe. Spa and the 'Ring were a short drive for me and I was glad to enjoy both venues pre-FIA mandated fencing installs.

I'd like to see the vid overlay of real GT cars like the FIA GT cars those looked like some older GT cars...not a fair comparison
