OK got some more vids for you guys and gals.

 

First up is a lap of both nurburgrings, the GP sh!tty circuit, and the proper Nordschleife in a 700hp Race prepped Porsche 996

 

700hp Porshe 68mb

 

Second is another crazy ass RUF porsche chucking it sideways on EVERY corner again on the Nordschleife. I heard that the driver was an RUF factory tester.

RUF 14mb

 

Last one from the Nordschleife is an in-car from a subaru following the M5 ringtaxi. This is the best vid I have seen so far to show off the gradients on the ring. Truly astounding.

Ringtaxi Vs. Impreza 44mb

 

 

 

Last is a high speed trip around the Le Mans track. This very rare onboard footage is from Dereck Bell's works Porsche 956 in 1983. In 1983 they did not have the two chicaines on the mulsanne straight, so the cars were doing 245~250mph. Just listen to how long he is travelling at over 245mph down that 6km straight. Now think you have to repeat that for 24 hours........

1983 Porshe 956 23mb

 

Enjoy :D

I will be downloading those pups later me thinks

Nice one rob

Had a look at the first two - pretty good.

You still don't get any impression of just how steep the climbs and drops are though.

The ring taxi one is good as it does give a better impression of the gradients and how bad the traffic is most of the time.

If you watch how much the white car moves around too you start to get some idea of how hard you have to concentrate - that was a slowish lap too.

They have the new M5 as the ring taxi now and it is much much faster and considerably bigger too. When it came up behind me for the first time I thought I was being chased by a block of flats.

LMAO @ block of flats. I hoped you would watch these Ivan as you have just come back.

 

I agree it was a 'slowish' lap... The subaru looked like it could pass the bmw in a few places, although he made a huge mistake on the left/right slow chicane after the initial flat out run, maybe 1/4 round the track. Adener Forest I think??

 

So you still don't think it gives a true to life impression of the gradients?
