Epic Ring Racing [repost]



Epic repost. In fact I posted this originally AFAIK but I'll be f**ked if I can find it. In any case, this racing is so awesome that a repost is as worthy as a bump.

lol nice. how did it not overtake the porche on the long straight? the dodge should have been much quicker really
 
  Saab 93 Aero Wagon
The Viper had to get out of the throttle halfway down the straight.

Good vid that. Viper was blatantly the quicker car but the Porker was being a typical Porker.....i.e a b*****d.

wonder how much better the 911could be if they put the engine in the middle and got rid of them midget back seats lol

^^Wouldn't that be a Cayman then?

I'd imagine that that particular Porsche has probably done away with its rear seats as well. I don't think the roll cage would fit otherwise.....;)

no the cayman is based off the boxter execpt with a hard roof(coupe)

Its just the 911 thing, must be in the back because thats how its been for 40 year, even if it is a bit dumb and no one else does it.

For me that video proves once & for all that power is nothing without control. The green barge was obviously much quicker in a straight line, but the 911 was much better in the 'twisties' - as such, the barge didnt have a hope in hell of getting past ...

I need to go back to the ring.

Some awesome driving. Been around the 'ring, but cant start to imagine what it would be like to go around in something that quick :race:

^ have you ever driven a 911 though? epic cars tbh

mint vid, not seen in before

yep my dads mate gave me a go in his gt3. Im not sayin there a bad car far from it. but just how much better would they be without the massive weight on the back end

They wouldn't be any better...they'd be different. The weight is a hinderance in some circumstances, but massively beneficial in others. Nothing can propel it's self from a corner under power like a 911.

Your right, but why do F1 cars have the engine in the middle and not over the rear axles??

Looks like the Fricadelli Racing Porsche, so it was probably driven by Sabine Schmitz.

Great racing from both, the Porsche especially, dealt better with traffic and maintained enough speed while driving the defensive line
