Black car drove very defensively in th early part of the lap, doing his "one move" pretty much every corner...then got better with traffic.

Haha yeah I remember that, good fun! My first race at the Ring and only my 4th lap of the circuit in the cup car. Gearbox broke in quali so had some overtaking to do, but had to keep it on the black stuff as it was our 4 hour test session for the world cup!

Was hard to get past some of the 2011 cars, as I was in a 2008 so much less torque and top speed, I knew I had to get past loads on the GP track as once on the ring it's hard!

He was defending like a bugger and not much I could do about it with a slower car. No point really as it was a 4 hour race. I couldn't take risk in traffic as it was just a test session for us, but was trying to make sure I got free laps on the ring part so I could learn the track!

I like the move on the Nissan after Flugplatz

It's good to see that RSRs sometimes hold up cups over there too! Great driving and video, loved it!

Yes it's an RS AND it's the same car from Leh's video at Sebring where he goes from 6th to 1st in about 1 second (without skipping gears) in the safety pin. THAT half-second is some good sh&t!
