I was thinking the same thing - takes a ton of ***** to drive like that and about a 1/2 ton of ***** to stand there - particularly on the dirt sections!

I think my heart rate doubled watching that!

The driver is like Schumacher and the Duke boys all rolled into one.

+1 on that. Insane driving and equally insane spectators at times...

Thanks for sharing the vid.

Say Jim,
Are you gearing up for a run at it in the new TT?
Cheers,

ME? No - no. Nothing like that in the cards. I just love all things Porsche at the moment and especially a great quality video like that.

Ok guys - if you liked the video I originally posted on this thread this is another very good quality production of the exact same run but with with mainly exterior shots. I just came across this one tonight and since it's kind of a follow up I thought I'd post it as well. Again - great quality.
