There's a short article about a video Auto Bild made for German television, and a link to the English-language version of the video.

I'm no Magnus walker, but after waiting several months for the broadcast window of the video to be finished, it's nice to be able to show this video to someone other than my wife and kids.



And here are some pictures the Germans took while they were at the track:

Great story, very cool car built with almost no budget.............
Oh and very fast lap times....... Glad you chase lap times the way us oldsters still do.
Not always happy with today's new car owners and their GARAGE QUEENS ....
Winning at Cars and Coffee not so much what it is all about.
Best of luck getting to 1:25

Thank you!

Here's a side-by-side video I put together comparing the old car to a new GT3. It's not scientific, really, but it shows that the old cars can still go pretty well.

Love that video. Very cool that your car is pretty much even with the new GT3 around the track.
