Dramatic in-car GT3R Video from the Ring!
http://www.20832.com/renn.tv/VLN8_Bilstein_Land.wmv
Some Funny & True observations:
- I thought I heard the Nav system, "Make a U-Turn"
- Is that what we call "oversteer"??
- Must be the Goodyears from Concord NC
- he is telling the crew over radio that he is ok., has damaged his left rear wheel, crashed the car and now will leave it. Somebody outside the car is telling him that he lost his left rear wheel!
No wonder that he made such a nice 360(or what) turn
best thing is: he is not hurt.
and finally:
Googled drivers website from German to English, http://www.basseng.de/
5km after passing Uwe Alzen stricken 996 Turbo, Basseng's output shaft tap (threads??), on which the tie rod is fastened, fallow (failed) and the wheel nut with the tie rod flew away, the wheel wound itself under the car.
And then Marc was only spectator: "I went off like a rocket. The speed was not so high, it has begun with approx. 140. When I took off, I had still good 100 drauf. The Porsche rose backwards highly, laterally with the door over the soil and then into the guard rail hit and then has the car begun a wheel to strike. By radio I announced and thought the accident to the box first of tire damage. One first at the accident scene cleared me up that I would have lost a wheel."

i had a similar experience on the chicago lake shore drive... I did a 180 4 times and didnt touch anything...
it was in my 993 TT doing 140 mph... a woman cut me off at a turn( she went into my lane acroos 2 lanes at once)... and she was in a boxter for that matter.
Its very slow mo when its happening....

markski,
i have enjoyed many of your insights re. modding etc, and have learned from some of the debates created as a result...
however, if you are doing 140 on a public road (and i'm not saying i haven't) you are not allowed to use the term "cut me off" when referring to some lady on that same public road. others drivers are simply not used to that kind of approach speed, and at those speeds i'd say its our fault and no-one else.
by the way, a 180 four times is two 360's (or eight 90's if you prefer)
just some friendly ball-busting...
